Just to be clear, Steve never called me a pawn and I'm certain he doesn't think of me that way -- but he did mistake me for being a Microsoft fan-boy (my words, not his).

I really don't understand how so many intelligent people refuse to use their brains where Microsoft is concerned. Examine the merits of each Microsoft product and accept or reject each one based on your requirements. Why should emotion ever enter into it? To me, a Fanboy would accept anything that came from the hallowed grounds of Redmond. Steve Gillmor obviously hasn't listened to you, Robert. You're not pawn, just a guy who's done his homework and picked the best tool for the job. It’s simply amazing that we have to have this conversation over-and-over again.
