I, Cringely | The Pulpit [Daypop Top 40]

You know.. ahh fuk it. If M$ wants to own everything in the world, with the exception of the stuff that the record companies and Hollywood own, let them have it. Maybe we can all go back to running WWIV BBS machines. I would like to think that the Internet is too big to control at this point. Until more people stop using Windows as a desktop OS, you can never be too sure. [ModWheel]

Maybe Kuch has hit it here... Windows is a desktop OS. Windows doesn't control the main traffic-flow points on the net. Can we use that as an advantage, or is it all about the apps. If M$ controls the apps, they control the users and hence it won't matter?

Any ideas?
