Of course, the original message was aggressive. But sometimes, in nowadays
world where the company who had nothing to do with Internet, open systems and
other nice stuff :-), where that company is almost now seen as having
invented those before-mentionned nice things, that world can then cause
over-reaction.

Ever heard of CORBA ?  -> OLE/COM
Ever heard of DNS (tree, delegatable) -> WINS (flat, centralized)

This software manufacturer never develops something: it surfs after the
wave, the place where it is the most comfortable. Don't talk scalability,
security, manageability, upgradeability today: let the people pay for
the upgrade.

Of course, a few people around (> 80% of the Internet WWW servers) are
*still* using good quality redistributable software, scalable plateforms
and open operating systems, but this can change very quickly: not because
the alternative is better (of course), but because the marketing power is
greater.

Don't be mislead by presentation: be convinced by content.
