"I am largely immune to conspiracy theories. I
don’t believe that the American government is behind a cover
up at Roswell, but I am prepared to believe that when a company
with the track record of Microsoft starts insinuating itself with
Apache it is not with the well being of others in mind. The phrase
“extend, embrace and extinguish” (E3) is virtually
synonymous with Microsoft. The beast of Redmond’s mercenary
joyride down the digital highway is littered with unsuspecting
roadkill and you really do start to wonder if Apache will need to
re-read the Highway Code. Let’s see if we can tease out just
what is going on."
