Well, stating its intentions in a document such as the above seems like enough
of an evidence to prove Microsoft's possible monopolisation attempts in the
future (and explain those in the past). As far as the document can be read, it
seems like a 'probe' to see how the world will react to such outrageous
arrogance and evaluate possible action in the outlined directions. [*]
Protocols can be viewed as languages computers worldwide use to communicate.
One who controls languages, controls the information and the communicating
parties. Changing international protocols with intent to monopolize them
('because they are too simple'???) could be seen as not only an attempt to
bring down one (and all) economic competitor(s) but to bring down the whole
world!
Is this whole planet going completely insane or is somebody finaly going to
put a stop to Microsoft completely?

[*] As far as I can tell, the reaction so far has been something along the
lines of seeing a banana peel on the pavement and thinking 'shit, I'm going to
fall again - better prepare my medic'..
