Microsoft is a rabid dog, who has fiercely bitten us again, and again, and again. Maybe newcomers to the free software community might have experienced this new, fresh, and friendly puppy mask that Microsoft has lately decided to put on its face, and might also be inclined to like it and trust it. I am not a newcomer. I know that under the mask there is the same rabid dog, and I wouln't dare to put my hand anywhere close to its mouth, 'cause I know very well what the most probable outcome will be. It's only a matter of time, and the mask will fall apart.
