We live in a world that is like the jungle, it's survival of the fittest. The last two decades have seen a technical domination, not from technical competence, but by technical ignorance ... a situation allowing Microsoft to exert undue influence over business in every country.

The ignorance was from the users, however we seem to be entering a period where the that technical knowledge is ever increasing, and old ways are passing. MS now have competition in the form of Google, who for the most appear to have smarter engineers, and some higher level of ethics. But hey, I'm not naive here. ( Before Jolyon et alia leap in and accuse me of fanciful thinking ...) .. it is something everyone has to keep proving.

We need to keep the competition, but in a way that technical excellence wins. Like most I got frustrated with the VHS vs Beta outcome ... but then again along came DVD's some time later.

I think the world is realising that companies better server the world when they compete on service, not over some patent or marketing stranglehold.

Freedom is a liberty many have died for in the past, and it applies as much to technology as to politics.

cheers and have a good weekend.

Gary
