But I think the problem arises when a company like Yamaha tries to take something that's standardized, such as Firewire. And then tries to make it proprietary (mLan). Why would all the other companies out there want to write code that is proprietary when there's an open standard that works just fine? Apple, and apple users tend to not like proprietary software. Which is why iTunes has continued to work with open standards such as mp4, and stay away from things like windows media. All proprietary stuff does is create an us versus them mentality. And that's not good for anyone. Just my 2 cents Scott This post has been edited by swilder: Wed 4 Feb 2004, 18:20
