Oh sure, (rolls eyes) and as long as those that would consider themselves experts wrap themselves up in these ridiculous arguments it will most certainly come to pass. Hmmm, let's see: NetBEUI bzzzt!

NFS and Samba put enough fear into them to make CIFS And even with the mess, DHTML /still/ hasn't taken anything over. Countless other examples exist where a dominate vendor attempted to foist a 'solution' on the marketplace that didn't meet the marketplace's needs. Each time, the marketplace sought other solutions. Why? Because the other solutions were better. The question is whether the alternative solutions will have the wherewithall to actaully make /better/ solutions and not just excuses.
