With the number of government organisations, military, schools etc already using OSS, Microsoft would have a real shit-fight on their hands.
They'd also go down in history as being Very Bad People and attract even more ill-will, from regular computer users in above organisations.
Before they ever attempt a patent attack, they have to win over the hearts and minds of the public to their view of software patents. I guess Gates' stabs at 'Communism' among the OSS movement were an early step in this direction.
I loved the OS/2 WPS & PM. Drag & drop colours or fonts to any OS/2 windowed app and they are remembered by the app. Maybe too O-O for some ppl but I liked it a lot myself - I found it quite consistent.
Pity 2.0 didn't ship with a TCP/IP stack, nor multi-user capability (or even logins/passwords for that matter)!
But I still miss the WPS... know it exists on Linux tho.

Perhaps a small set of modes according to the type of data or operation, then? i.e. photo, video, text document, filesystem etc
But still not up to the 'application' developers but instead offered by THI.
What if you're wrong and there is no Jesus?
I was raised Christian and thought about it a lot, and by my reasoning Christianity is only as valid as any other form of mysticism (i.e. not much).
That's what really scares me - people that think Jesus is gonna make everything alright.
Is there any point of the Earth's destruction where you guys will admit that actually Jesus should've come back by now?
He actually said he was going to come back within the lifetime of his listeners, but obviously he didn't, so why would you believe anything he says?
