Sure, let's all kill the messenger, he has selfish intentions. But let's also consider the message.

There would be no Wikipedia today if Microsoft would have control over its ecosystem back then in the way Apple does today.

Wikipedia was a direct competitor to one of Microsofts Products. They would have simply rejected it to make us buy Microsoft Encarta on DVD.

There would probably be no internet at all. Don't fight Netscape or Firefox. Just reject them.



I'm sure that with Apple's declining and certainly minority market share in one form of computing (cell phones), that would be the biggest issue here? When the web is fully accessible on these devices, and something like Wikipedia can and was created there?
