  1. Comment - Former WaSP Interoperability Advocate Hired by Microsoft

    Hi Scott,

    In answer to your question I quite simply have to point to the people I worked with during the WaSP / Microsoft Task Force year. There is a definite split between the technology and business agendas there, and of course business will influence any tech decisions, for good or bad. Hey, that's Microsoft. We all know that! ;)

    I think it's also a bit of the Clue Train philosophy: Revolution from the inside and all that.

    I spoke to Ian Forrester at the BBC yesterday and I talk in more detail about this and other topics too. The vidcast runs around 15-20 minutes or so, but take a look if you're inclined: http://blip.tv/file/140923

    Warmly, Molly

    Interesting article. May I point out that working as a consultant to promote interop and standards within IE and Microsoft products is exactly the same as ensuring that the Web remain in the hands of the people? That's what standards are all about.

    And may I also say that as a vendor, they are buying what I am selling, not the other way around.

    With warm regards,
    Molly
