Amazing that even when they are giving users maximal choice, even including their arch-nemesis Google, they are evil? Would Microsoft be better if you could only use Microsoft models?
I'd love to see a list of the open standards they've embraced and killed. Your argument is on a weak foundation if it is based on Internet Explorer in the pre IE8 days (15+ years ago), or anything older than that.
Frankly, Microsoft hasn't had enough influence to kill any open standard since the height of their dominance in the early 2000s. They aren't that important. I mean, market forces made them adopt Chromium even.
Interesting. Humans love memetic patterns so much we’re like chickens with lines drawn in front. We can’t help but say the thing. Like the Nam Shub of Enki it’s entered our minds and now reproduces in all sorts of contexts.
Embrace, Extend, Extinguish we say now without thought. The virus breaks containment. Like fungus on an ant it makes us summit and then spew it forth on others - self—modifying to maximize life span.
