I agree with you about the "winds changing." Folks nowadays seem more
likely to be critical of Microsoft -- and by extension, its products --
than they were a year ago. But I assure you, many of my colleagues (though
not necessarily folks who are writing about this) are considerably more
regulatory-minded than I. Fortunately, we believe in diversity of
viewpoints.
