Meanwhile I see that the Microsoft-sponsored Czech EU Presidency is serving Microsoft again. Previously we saw it fighting for software patents and helping OOXML and today I find it fighting Google. I agree with “Needs Sunlight”.

Fix EIF 2 now, before M$ makes a hash of it, and it will save hundreds of millions by preventing the need for expensive corrective action later. While you wait, the economy is tanking. While you wait, other projects built on EIF decisions will have a harder time re-tooling, if it becomes necessary. While you wait, MSFTers are seeding the road to recovery with nails. Do something. Edmund Burke said all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. Do not allow evil to progress further. Do not do sit by and do nothing while these 'Softers work their mischief. @carsten: “sit and wait” is an old tune right out of M$ psalm book.
