Can we trust Microsoft on Web services?
I don't

Just prior to launching my investigative report on whether Microsoft and IBM were plotting to take over the Internet, I received a phone call from my colleague and fellow columnist David Coursey, asking me if I had forgotten to take my daily medication. He had good reason to wonder whether I had lost my mind. I'll be the first one to admit that the idea that two companies--even ones as big as Microsoft and IBM--could conspire to take over the Internet on the basis of software patents and royalties is, well, "out there. [SnchorDesk]

Very nice piece that lays out the risk and the concerns that all should share about .Net and other bids by MS. They will say anything that advances their cause. It's too bad they managed to drag this out into a Presidency that could care less what business does...mj
