Interesting opinion page on McrSft / Ntscp server controversy

[Heath Rezabek]

There's a thought-provoking essay on the O'Reilly site [O'Reilly, btw, 
publishes some of the most solid technical books on the market] by Tim 
O'Reilly at

... My problem with Microsoft, from a librarian's perspective, is that I 
cannot tolerate the notion of a financial force carryign such direct 
control over the media and over computer-mediated communications & 
resources; "We'll fund your library, but you have to replace your entire 
reference collection with this nice set of books generated by our PR 
department..."

Not likely.
