I think Icaza's out of his mind. I can understand not wanting to create
another standard, but to latch onto M$ is really a bad idea. He's sold out? I
don't know...

This I understand a little bit better. It sounds like guerilla tactics.
Admitting defeat up front, but continuing to work toward the goal you've been
defeated at...that's smart. The dogs at M$ might get lulled into complacency?
(Wishful thinking there) "Oh, they're admitting defeat. Next contender,
please." Redhat's not big enough to fight M$, either. But IBM is. RH is going
to let someone else do some cheerleading for a while, while RH gets its act
together, makes more money, and slowly, quietly continues to creep around
M$'s territory. You can bet anyone who speaks privately with the CEO will get
a different story than the one that got published.
