Embrace, Extend, Extinguish (3.57 / 7) (#4)

(User Info)

Microsoft also uses the embrace, extend, extinguish ("EEE") tactic. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/eee).

EEE is used to (attempt to) squelch open standards. Examples include:

C++
C#
Java (it's a de facto standard, and you can get the Java Language Specification easily)
HTML
JavaScript
..........

I don't really see the open standards of today (like XML and WordML, whatever that is) resilient to this type of attack. After all, the DOJ let them do this.

Darl McBride, show your evidence!
Back a stock scam, buy SCOXE!
