I dunno Marc:
Mike's perspective is that the ISVs, Linux Distributors and *BSD folks
are at least partially in bed together. I can't say they're not. I
can't say that they're convergent, but he insists that I'm wrong to say
that they're divergent.
He says they all talk and work together.....
I dunno except, he's there and I'm not...
