Very Worried at MS .net

[John Peter Tapsell <John Tapsell]

Hey,

  I've always been FS, and much less so OS...  however..
Reading the comments thrown up on /. about MS helping out on the linux .net, I
have suddenly realised quite how damn powerful MS is going to become.
If they gain full control of a globally and totally accepted passport scheme,
they will control all.

I am suddenly very afraid - if you don't see why, cruise at  3+ points on /.
under that article, and read everything.

I'm starting to think that if we stick to FS, we are going to lose big time.
We don't have the time, MS are comming up to big and too fast.
I'm starting to see the OS in a different light.

I'm going to stop this email here I think.
