To quote David: "that's not how MS works". Their typical operating
strategy seems to be to take a look at what someone else is doing, make
their own version[1] of it, and then spend a lot of money making people
think the MS version is the only one worth using -- or even that it's
the only one out there. MS could have decided to use PHP, but instead it
came up with ASP; it could support Javascript, but instead promotes
VBscript; or how about Unicode, PDF, or lots more examples you could
name ...
[1] Some would say: "a more or less blatant rip-off".
