Sun, IBM Continue Open Standards Double-Speak

To the Ad-Hominem Blogoblather:

More importantly, does one actually get paid for writing this kind of stuff? I suspect that if they do, it is based on the number of words, not the quality or content. If selling my soul on a weekly basis to post electronic billboards for Redmond pays cash, count me in.

I can only laugh as critics are called silly names while any comment that goes against the grain is quickly edited.

Dennis - how does one join the SeekingAlpha community and more importantly if I join, will I suddenly start agreeing with this article?

Microsoft Continues to Waste Shareholder Value on Standards

Dennis,

"Locked in to Sun or IBM or <insert name here>" in utilizing open standards is neither a lock nor a waste of time. It is called consumer choice. "Locked" in to Microsoft may also be a choice but inevitably results in a lack of innovation and stagnation of ideas. Wave goodbye to your beloved gatekeeper and more of your shareholder value if they so choose to invent a wheel that only fits their car.

BTW - whose browser did you use to post this? I can only assume it was once again something from your provider of choice...
