Let me clarify: It's a big L love, little h hate. It's unfortunate and sad that Google has helped disaggregate the media business and used the media businesses' own content to do it (but without passivity from the media, maybe the situation would be different). On the other hand, I agree with you completely on open source and free. More power to it. Although I have to say that earlier this year when I was consulting fulltime, I pledged to buy a Ubuntu-enabled laptop and use web-based productivity tools only. I didn't pull the trigger on the first and have used only a few in the second. MSFT's stranglehold is tough to wiggle out of in some cases. Hi, Dan, and thanks for the comment.

I love Google and still avoid Microsoft products when I have an Open Source alternative. I say, go Google, go.

I love Google and still avoid Microsoft products when I have an Open Source alternative.
