One of the recurring themes with our friend David Berlind is how Microsoft is taking over.
Here's an example from last week, the subtext being the "Microsoft Media Juggernaut." Here's another, about IM, and still another, about its XML patents.
I mean no disrespect nor criticism here. Berlind has a healthy skepticism about Microsoft's claims. But it did leave me thinking.
Microsoft is very, very big. Microsoft has been very, very big for a long time, and Microsoft puts billions-and-billions of dollars into R&D every year. Microsoft always gets the best-and-brightest into Redmond. Its campus may be the greatest Software University in the world.
