Seems that Bill and company have a new strategy.
Join us. Or we’ll join you. Or “we like you so much, we’ll interop with you.”
The hand writing has been on the wall. Indigo is Microsoft declaring “we’ve won”. It’s the universal connector kit - adpating any technology to any other. Kim Cameron (the sweetest Microsoft employee I ever met) has a brilliant strategy for meta-identity management.
And then of course - if Spaces.MSN and Microsoft’s support of RSS (seemingly everywhere.)
Why not?
They’ve won everywhere else. Why not also become the very BEST open source, open standards company around?
