A recent post about Firefox and my general view of corporations and organizations has caused a bit of a stir. It even caught the attention of Asa Dotzler. He said "It's really hard for me to believe that either [Microsoft or Adobe] have the free and open Web at heart when they're actively subverting it with closed technologies like Flash and Silverlight." But are they really subverting it? Where exactly is the line between serving the consumer and subverting the web? I think the W3C should share in this blame.

"The W3C is an open body. Microsoft are in this body of members, yet don't generally contribute at all.
Um, take a look at the w3c site and the standards and recommendations they've published. You'll find Microsoft and Microsoft employees involved in a great many of them. MS is an active and contributing member or w3c. " Welcome to Kroc's reality-distortion field.
