I use a Microsoft operating system running Microsoft products, with 
sites running on Microsoft based servers. This has nothing to do with 
*who* made it and everything to do with it being little more than a 
minor blip on the web radar until the adoption rate comes even close to 
the un-holy percentage (90%+?) that Flash has. Even a Windows Update 
roll-out won't crumple that lead I'm afraid. It will take a long time 
for the momentum to build, and as if Adobe will sit idly by and let that 
happen.

It's not about good vs. evil, it's just about corporate bullshit as two 
juggernauts slog it out. When the dust settles, when the tools mature, 
when the format truly opens up, and the adoption rate is there, then 
it'll be worth looking at again.

Cheers,
