It's an open specification. And Google releases a hell of a lot of code back to the open-source community. Microsoft does not pay people just to work on open-source; Google is the primary cash-cow behind Mozilla/Firefox, paying most of the money to develop it. Lkewise, it employs Guido von Rossum, paying him, and allowing him to spend 50% of his time doing python! Which Microsoft employee is alowed to spend HALF their time wokring on their pet project?

Google’s development strategy looks more and more like the one that got Microsoft in so much trouble in the 90s. We gave them perfectly good ways of moving data around, so developers could use any company’s infrastructure. Google reinvents it so you can only use theirs. I recommend going some other way, for now. And Google, we want to ride up front, with you, not locked in the trunk, with uncertain air supply.
