Winer nails it on Microsoft

In response to the Nov. 8 column by Dave Winer, "What's the deal with Microsoft?":

Halle-freaking-lujah. Your words mirror my thoughts exactly. I have only one word for the whole situation: despair.

The whole public, especially the tech industry, got screwed on the Microsoft deal. I could fill five pages with my thoughts, but I get the feeling I would be preaching to the choir.
