Mi...When the world ends in 2012, you'll understand. Microsoft is just conserving its energy for the big Y2K12 bug -- also known as the apocalypse.<BR/><BR/>Seriously, though. Microsoft might start paying attention more if MAC OS and the various Linux distros start applying the pressure. It's the same sort of pressure as what stimulated IE development, after years of complacency. It's not criticism from users or the press that will do it; it's competition.<BR/><BR/>The people who run Microsoft aren't stupid, despite the general consensus to the contrary. It costs a ton to build an app from the ground up, and until there is somebody else infringing (significantly) on Microsoft's market share, why should they go to all the effort.<BR/><BR/>This isn't IBM we're talking about, after all.Jeff Zundelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00330978148894573887noreply@blogger.com
