“The Internet? We are not interested in it”

“The Internet is just a passing fad”

Of course he is not interested in an open network. Bill has been angling for a proprietary M$-only network since the beginning.
Scrutinizing the stack would make the risk to users visible. During the last two years, M$ operatives (yeah that’s what they act like, so that’s what we’ll call them) working on site inside businesses and institutions have been taking out various and sundry Internet protocols and replacing them with non-standard versions. DNS is one of the most vital protocols getting attacked.

Most of these operatives aren’t even letting either their user base or their management know about the changes. Just let things stop working.

If M$ replacement stack were opened up under GPLv3, then anyone could implement it, and that would defeat the purpose of it, as laid out in the documents known as “Halloween I” If the M$ replacement stack were opened up under any FOSS license then it could be scrutinized and two things would probably be found: 1. that it is as insecure and unreliable as bing cash, sharepoint, ms passport and anything else to squeeze out of Redmond with a grunt. 2. that it is a trojan horse for a proprietary network
