Excellent post that captures my feelings precisely. I worked for a MS "partner" whose product integrated with BizTalk (I know, right?) A big part of our strategy was trying to keep MS from locking us out once we became successful. Eventually we got bought out and the product was killed. Around 2000, Linux was on the scene and like a lot of people I got the hell out of the MS ecosystem and never looked back.
