Yes, lock-in is the name of the game for Microsoft. The only way to win the game is to not play; also, support free software initiatives, use free (as in freedom) software for everything, and help to educate the public. The gnu suite of tools and the linux kernel were the keys to unlocking Microsoft lock-in... brilliant technologies for innovation and freedom. Python adds to this brilliance by providing accessibility together with fun and ease of use for real world problem solving and research in computer science. Computer science (as in all good science) must have as key elements freedom in collaboration, freedom in expanding ideas and abstractions, and freedom in sharing and communication. For computer science to be good science, it must be free. To that end Python deserves kudos and cheers--- brilliant! Hat's off to Guido and the entire team~ ! Don't tread on me! kind regards, m harris

I used to believe this too, but then I found I was relying on Linux and GNU software so much that I couldn't afford to move away from Linux and GNU. Damn lock-in. -- Steven
