If they "edjucate" their end-users into thinking that information should be tightly controlled by a
centralized source, than it's easy to make the connection that the open-source community is villifying the information management
structure that Microsoft and friends is working so hard to manage for the best interest of the consumers.
Maybe I'm paranoid, but it seems this is a much larger tactic...
I don't think you're paranoid, given this:
In the months ahead, coalition members will produce
a set of RFCs, 'Requests for Comments,' that will set out procedures for handling new security
holes.
If this goes through, MS will be able to say "Hey you've violated RFC XXXX!" just like the open source community has been screaming at them for all the RFC's they've disrespected...
