Praveen Dalal, at some point enough chances have already been given and what's left after that is: proof first, believe later.

If past behaviour is any indication for future behaviour then having Microsoft decide for us what is best and what not is most likely to end up in a one sided deal that is purely self interested for as long as most of their customers don't actively object in masses.

As such I would recommend as the first order of busniess to only allow equally open to all industry standards as the vehicles to drive and further improve the Internet.
