Microsoft is not a company, it's phenomenon and a movement. Today's announcement about Nokia layoffs helps show the cost of partnership with Microsoft. Today's death of Novell also helps show the cost of partnership with Microsoft. Today's response form B & N helps show the importance of BN (Boycott Novell) and this whole vortex of market distortion clearly show that it's a bad time for Groklaw to leave because its editorial and organisational structure is very much necessary.
