The problem in that scenario is that it is 
Microsoft that is innovating this time and 
the footdragging is on the other foot.  If 
you want to take back the past and preserve 
it for the future, have at.

You need the right technology, the right sales 
pitch, and yes, some innovation.  Threats get 
you absolutely nothing this time because  
technology companies are going to refuse to go along 
with a campaign that leaves them less competitive.

	Innovation in the market place has forced Microsoft to follow
the "correct" path in the past. Even though they are bigger today, it
still should be possible to get them to do the right thing. We just
need the right arguments, the right threats, and some first class
innovation.
