Miguel has the illusion that microsoft with it's flash competitor (silverlight), ooxml,.net, etc are pushing for cross platform compatibility and openess and whatnot.
The truth? Microsoft doesnt give a shit for any of that.
java: is cross platform, what does Sun do? develops runtimes for all major platforms.
flash: although closed, they offer flash clients for many major platforms.
i could go on and on with examples.
All that microsoft cross platform stuff: designed for windows and only developing runtimes for windows.
Miguel always running behind them and implementing their "cross-platform" stuff only serves for them giving him a couple of minutes at some conferences and then brag about their stuffs "openess".
