Can't say I'm looking forward to another war with McSoft. Been there, done that. But if you read the recent tech news you'll see that it's happening. This isn't a little skirmish in the Balkans like the browser wars, this is WWIII and there won't be any prisoners taken. Many people are looking at it as a lesser of two evils fight and I won't say that their logic is completely flawed. From my point of view it is only about one evil that must be stopped. Recall that in the 1940's Roosevelt allied with Stalin - (not the best of friends) to stop Mr. Heil himself from laying waste to a continent or two. This analogy in fact fits very well in the battle for cyberspace and the battle for any company or person to have the freedom to create software and sell it (without having all the cool ideas stolen and used against them). AOL has determined allies - mostly freedom fighters and those that have grabbed a piece of the consumer pie through hard work and their own innovation and don't want to lose it to double-cross and subterfuge. McSoft has mostly puppet regimes (hardware dependants) and a handful of Fortune 500 execs who are afraid to cross them for fear of losing their bulk software discounts. The battle lines have been drawn and the heavy artillery is moving into place. Honey grab my gun. Gotta' go rid the earth of them damn Softies.
