One thing that surprises me is how when MS comes up with non-standard technologies for IE it makes them look like the bad guys, but when Google comes up with non-standard stuff (aka bleeding edge innovation) everyone embraces it. Imagine Microsoft launching something like the IE App Store.
- yuhong 15y agoYea, I realized that embrace and extend is not the worst of MS's evils. For example, MS extending ODF would have been much better than what MS did with OOXML.
