Dear AgentM,
you are always allowed to point to articles but not to tell us how to think about the issues they concern.
Newetheless if Microsoft is sued for abusing it's market position, there's e.g. one thing I just read concerning Database Accesibility: <cite> Programming the Perl DBI
T.Bunce & A. Descartes
page 164
".. However the SQL Access Group CLI standard never really took off. At least not in that form.
.. In fairness, Microsoft turned an incomplete paper standard into a fully featured practically reality."</cite>

So please show fairness as well and get - at least here - rid of that "mine is better than yours" attitude.
Provide us with something more constructive PLEASE
Have a nice day All decision is left to your taste.
