Subscribing to, and using software and tools, on the internet makes a lot of sense. But, to allow everyone to
connect equally there has to be standards. You can't allow one company to control the entire internet just because they author the most unstable, insecure, OS.
That's what makes the internet so appealing, anyone,
anywhere can get the same information, in the same format, and with the same security, as everyone else.
Everyone doesn't have to be running the latest version of windows, one company should not be allowed to
force all to use their products.
