[Gllug] Re: XNS and .NET

[Xander D Harkness]

I have no problem with Microsoft programs (apart from them being too 
unstable to use) - If other people want to use them fine.

What I do have a problem with is a company that operates in an illegal 
manner, where its officers obviously have no respect for the officers of 
the law in their own land.  I object to the corruption of standards and 
the attempts to breach licence agreements (Java) when they are founder 
members of BSA and FAST (Or at least vocal advocates of both organisations).

Evil is not a word I would use, corrupt and criminal fit well with me.

Cheers
Xander
