Rather than sort out their own house, Microsoft in typical and historical style, have decided to explain why their take on "Web Standards" is correct and everyone else should listen and understand their point of view..

Written by Molly Holzschlag using Microsoft’s new apparently open source (with bitter after taste) Oxite, Microsoft’s new blogging platform explains to poor old honest Joe why they’ve misunderstood what web standards actually represent. Rather than being a system of continuity between browsers, apparently it’s all about a "tax" that business people have to pay..

No, open source software is free – if people are informed correctly about how things are rather than swallowing the regurgitated corporate Microsoft BS, they would be aware that if they moved away from the MS .net and IE ideal, things would be quicker, easier and SHOCK, maybe even FREE! Read what Microsoft think you’re thinking here… I guess if they’re trying to flog their blogging software, this article is a good example of comment, rather than fact.
