[clue-talk] speculation on Microsoft's worst enemy

[David L. Willson]

I can only speak for myself, but I want to (defensively) say:

I don't really care one way or the other about Microsoft, but I care deeply about competition.  I love diversity, because diversity keeps the market fluid, dynamic, changeable, and encourages competition.  Competition is fun and drives ever increasing value to consumers.  The Free software ethic and community strongly encourage a highly competitive, value-driven market.
