| schestowitz | I like this essay but disagree about the relative threats posed by Microsoft and Google. Microsoft has all of the same kinds of web services, including Facebook, and has shown they are willing and able to abuse them while Google has not. Microsoft's grip on hardware is a bigger threat than BMH imagined. BMH's essay also ignores software patents, spectrum monopolies and other serious problems that Microsoft is responsible for. | Jan 01 19:21 |
