Microsoft understands well what open standards are. But they are, and have always been, a corporation dedicated to maximizing their revenue and profits. If they create their own standard, and implement them, and roll it out on their systems (OE, IE, Windows), they stand to make a profit. It's abuse of their monopoly. And with the open-source world as fragmented as it is, it's not hard to see why they are winning. Don't kid yourselves here, the DOJ, the European Commission and the Japanese are going to do nothing to stop Microsoft. The Open-Source community has to work together to build a system which is a viable alternative, rather than bits and pieces.
