what is interesting is that jim allchin (identified as a software
designer in the news report, but who is, if i remember right, a
senior VP) called open software "unamerican" and used similar
red-baiting rhetoric. if capitalistic free market is what is
american, then, according to allchin, it is strange that various
microsoft minions are scurrying around the countryside arguing
philosophy to suggest that the poor software giant and capitalism
itself is under attack by open software. after all, if the market
decides the winner, given their huge financial and other resources,
all microsoft has to do would be to prove the superiority of their
model in the market place, do the "american thing".
