"@ h0dg3sYou can't condemn blogs universally as spam. If you only accept mainstream media as relevant, what the hell are you doing on digg?There are many, many excellent independent blogs out there. That said, shoemoney needs to spend some of that shoe money on a copy editor."There are many many better websites than blogs. Blogs are for people that are too dumb to design a website and therefore, not worth my time.
Although the EU has been very aggressive in prosecuting the Microsoft "monopoly", the US government isn't nearly as punitive. Furthermore, whether or not Microsoft has a monopoly in the OS market, there's certainly nothing to prevent them from strengthening their position in other markets or entering new markets.Even in EU, Microsoft is free to do what they want, as long as they don't appear to be using their monopoly position as leverage. (Actually, the EU will probably fine them anyway, but only because they want the money, and they know that Microsoft will just pay the fine and continue to do business in Europe anyway. Think of it as EU's "Microsoft Tax".)

I think it is a wonderful idea because it allows for discussion and adds another layer of interactivity on the web. It is still in a very early stage and so, it might not work in any browsers other than firefox and there might a lot of bugs.I am hoping that some of you are interested and will join this project.

Yahoo only works correctly on Windows with IE anyway, so it is basically a MS subsidiary already.
