I agree with you that its a neat idea. Perhaps Microsoft would be better off if they put their efforts and funds into their own ideas instead of trying to bully some funds for others' ideas. Maybe they will change their ways, but it doesn't look like it. I just read something about this in "Michael's Minutes". I don't know how others think about Mr Robertson's ideas, but I think that he may have a point when it comes to Microsoft's requirement to dominate the playing field, regardless of how productive that may be. He has had quite a lengthy adversarial relationship with the Redmond Giant. Who knows? BTW, you're not the only one who doesn't understand this.
