Microsoft Tries To Get Smart illustrates the obvious concerns that people are having with smart tags:
“What’s gotten people like Winer and others (link to photo of protestors burning the flag) riled is concern that Microsoft (link to Microsoft stock chart showing how well company is performing) might, because of its OS monopoly (link to article by anti-trust expert detailing why Microsoft is not a monopoly) be able to force its technology down the throats of unsuspecting, uninformed or apathetic users (link to photo of lemmings) who might not realize the implications of the technology (link to Microsoft XP order info page).”
i don’t know. this whole smart tag thing, juxtaposed with the demise of suck and feed has me a little less optimistic that things are going to turn out o.k.
