my $0.02 worth:
I will not pay for this style guide.
I will not contribute to the MS policy: take all
the good features from what's already out there,
sell for peanuts, and debug in the field. After
the competition puts a padlock on the door forever,
raise the price.
Gates does not run the world--yet.
