>Just to reply to one thing in isolation (because frankly you can get a better treatment of all this point-by-point stuff by doing a Google groups search from 1997): Very interesting that you don't want to talk about Apple, or compare it's "evilness" to Microsoft.

The elephant in the room has grown a second tail and still no one wants to even acknowledge its existence in these type of stories and comments.
