The way I see this is it will either consolidate Microsoft's hold on computing 
and give them control of the internet (which was paid for by taxpayers, not 
them)  - OR - it will cause a mass exodus away from the PC and Microsoft 
to the great benefit of Apple and other manufacturers, as well as computer 
users, because almost anything is more stable and usable than Microsoft.

Allow me to present Hutnick's Theorem of Internet Discourse:

   Any sufficiently frank technical discussion of MicroSoft software is
   indistinguishable from MicroSoft bashing.
