[ossig] Microsoft on standards

[Hasannudin Saidin]

Via An Antic Disposition:


      ...from the many exhibits made public in the Iowa Comes v. Microsoft
      case, this in the opening "Evangelism is War" section of a report
      called Effective Evangelism.


            Our mission is to establish Microsoft's platforms as the de
            facto standards throughout the computer industry. Our enemies
            are the vendors of platforms that compete with ours: Netscape,
            Sun, IBM, Oracle, Lotus, etc. The field of battle is the
            software industry. Success is measured in shipping
            applications. Every line of code that is written to our
            standards is a small victory; every line of code that is
            written to any other standard, is a small defeat. Total
            victory, for DRG [Developer Relations Group], is the universal
            adoption of our standards by developers, as this is an
            important step towards total victory for Microsoft itself: 'A
            computer on every desk and in every home, running Microsoft
            software.
