Just a minute ... everybody calm down.
I was not suggesting an alliance with Microsoft! I just thought it would
be a good idea to find out where they stand in terms of supporting our
standard.
I suppose it's potentially I catch 22. If they do support it, they might
take it over-but if they don't support it, it will probably never get off
the ground much beyond our community.
It sounds like I'm a little more ambivalent about Microsoft than the other
people on the list, however, if you want to think of them as the Devil,
making a deal with the Devil is one thing (it to be avoided) ... but
knowing your enemy (or at least their intentions) is generally a good idea.
Just my humble opinion ...
