>Now that you're no longer dependent on MS, do you think you're totally free. No. You're becoming dependent into something which happens to be not an MS thing. And if someone decides to make use of MS product, it doesn't mean MS holds control of his/her future.

Jesse,

I do not want to be rude as well. But these comments show you have not paid python the kind of attention it deserves. Even if you prefer to stick to an MS-only environment. Which of course may make a lot of sense. Python belongs to a completely different league. On a lot of grounds. Including non technical ones. The way the software architecture is evolved is both effective and, I am looking for an adequate wording, both convivial and vivacious:)
