I pretty much agree. I still see MS as the problem. Aspiring to be like MS
isn't really a viable answer.

I've been reading a bit of fun speculative fiction by Charles Stross called
Glasshouse. In this work, the base of the story revolves around trying to
figure out what happened just before the singularity. Seems that in the late
20th and early 21st century, folks -for some crazy reason- locked all their
information up in proprietary and very pooly documented formats, and even
crazier, wrapped all their cultural information up with encyption.

Kind of ironic since you only can buy the book in proprietary, encrypted form (if you want digital copy)...
