Reading through the article I couldn't help but think that if all this proves one thing, its that Microsoft really does destroy innovation. I mean think about it, how many wacky inventions like this do you see in the computing industry? When was the last time you saw a sysop wearing a pair of sunglasses hooked up via 802.11 to a server, listening to internet radio? Personally, its been at least 3 weeks since I did, which is far too long to be acceptable if we really want computing to be taken seriously in the modern world of high tech industry. The fact is, as long as Microsoft is able to maintain its stranglehold on the worlds economy of intelluctal stimulation and creativity, then we will never get to wear radio sunglasses, nor get to eat heated bread from our electric toasters without the long arm of the microsoft innovation police beating down upon us repeatedly until we simply collapse onto the floor and curl up into a foetal position screaming "Make it stop! Make the pain go away I beg of you!"
