Hi Bob,
But of course, it is PC to knock MS and considered bad form to say bad things about poor Sun, Apple, etc who as "everybody" knows are the innocent victims of the big bad Gates Machine.
The only criticism I've seen of Microsoft in this thread is that ActiveX (which is a Microsoft invention) isn't cross-platform. That article confirms that this is the case -- it refers to XPCOM as cross-platform, while making it clear that ActiveX is native Windows code.
Are you saying that we shouldn't blame Microsoft for the fact that ActiveX isn't cross platform? Or perhaps even that we should blame Apple or Sun for that?
Seems pretty clear to me that if Microsoft designs, writes, supports, markets, popularizes, and distributes a product. And Sun and Apple aren't at all involved in that process... perhaps it's Microsoft, not Sun or Apple who should be blamed for the shortcomings? What am I missing?
