Is that really what he meant? The way it was worded in the live blog sounded like he was applauding MS.

A: You can’t focus on negativity and zero-sum games. I don’t know how to deal with all of those things, and I’m sad that the web isn’t advancing as fast as it should be. We struggle with people like Microsoft. We have a great relationship with Microsoft.

If you take something as simple as IM, we’ve had an open offer to interoperate forever. Just this week Microsoft took advantage of that by interoperating with us. You can’t have people milking off of just one company.
