Jamie Zawinski is forever butthurt because Microsoft gave away a browser and hurt his company? I didn't see the little whiner babbling about the revolting Wretched Richard Stallman, who said: "We will give them the Free software so your non-free software willfail" The petulant Stallman (and a few other FOSS ninnies) would decimate the commercial software industry if they had their way. Erase several hundred thousands of jobs and $billions and $billions from the GDP all because they can't have your code. What loons. MS is doomed (to generate over $200B in revenue this fiscal year) Adobe is doomed (to generate nearly $20B in revenue this fiscal year)
