Groklaw, refuted Burton....

And you sound like IBM or FSF :-)

I just don't like being told by others what to do or what is good for me.....whether it be my government, my boss, my wife, IBM or MS. I don't like it when companies try to lock me into their products or their standards. I want them to compete for and ern my business, and I want to have choice. Having IBM, Sun, FSF, and ODF Alliance ram their standard down my throuat and around the world is offensive. We are smarter than that. At the end of the day we all win when we have choice and when these companies are competing and innovating for our business. Having just one standard, no matter which one is bad for end-users, business and local economies.
