I would like to say that I for one am apposed to adopting non-free standards. This is bad for everyone involved, as to use company A's new standard, you invariably end up having to use a product by company A to support it. This alienates those who happen to be on a platform not directly supported by company A. It gets worse when company B is involved and releases something not supported by company A's product. I think the push should be a centrally adopted standard which is free to use. Profit should go to the company with the better product, not the company who eliminates competition by closing the doors on participation. - k -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chaos is not Anarchy.
