Potentially millions of files will be blocked at that time, Napster attorney David Boies said.&quot;"/>
		<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.oreillynet.com/cs/user/view/wlg/122&quot;&gt;Tim O'Reilly interviewed&lt;/a&gt; Microsoft's Jim Allchin. Here's the gist of Allchin's statement. Microsoft is opposed to the US government investing in software licensed under the GPL, since it would not allow Microsoft, a US company that pays taxes, to use the software. He didn't say it's un-American to do so, but I do. It's a simple obvious point. Software created by the public must be accessible to the public."/>

		<outline text="I knew I'd get pushback from today's piece, but it's my truth. It took me a long time to realize how deep the resentment had set over Microsoft control of the Web. Now that doesn't mean I don't want to work with Microsoft -- I do. But before that could really happen, I needed to let them know who I am and where I stand. A lot of the discussions lately have been unrealistic. "/>
		<outline text="See yesterday's &lt;a href=&quot;http://davenet.userland.com/2001/03/01/chineseHousewives&quot;&gt;piece&lt;/a&gt; for a metaphoric version of the story. "/>
		<outline text="Also, as the SOAP &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.soapware.org/directory/4/communities&quot;&gt;communities&lt;/a&gt; develop, let's get connected. The tendency at large companies like Microsoft is to work within their own boundaries, and to value relationships with other companies their own size, and for indies that's basically a one-way flow. That's OK of course, but if they won't budge, the only chance we have, the independent developers, is to work with each other."/>

		<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://writetheweb.com/read.php?item=108&quot;&gt;Evan Williams&lt;/a&gt;: &quot;I guess we'll probably be blogging from hovercraft and wearing shiny suits.&quot;"/>
		<outline text="UserLand's inner-Microsoft?">
			<outline text="Radio has Blogging tool (its name changed to &quot;Weblog&quot; late in the process, which makes me sad, but it was the right decision). So I'll continue to call it the Blogging tool for a bit longer. Maybe I'll never stop! &quot;;-&gt;&quot;"/>
			<outline text="Anyway. Radio can save your blog to your local hard drive, in the www folder, and this works because Radio is also a Web server, and if you have a high-speed line and a fast computer and like to live close to the edge, this can be fun. There's no simpler way to run a Blog."/>
			<outline text="You can also upstream your blog to a UserLand server, which gives you a long-but-free &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ourfavoritesongs.com/users/dave@userland.com/blog/&quot;&gt;URL&lt;/a&gt;. You can also FTP your blog to any &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.scripting.com/blog/&quot;&gt;server&lt;/a&gt; you want. And as a bonus, you can mirror your blog on the home page of a Manila site. And it's not an either-or thing, except for the first rendering to the local system, they are all optional. "/>
			<outline text="Now, focus on the last option, blogging from Radio to a Manila site. This is actually our own inner-Microsoft speaking. Every platform vendor feels as if the world revolves around them, and of course it's not true, although it can seem that way. Let me be the first to puncture our little balloon. Our marketing people (me) decided to call this feature &quot;Mirroring to Manila&quot;. Now our lead designer (also me) wants you to know that this connection is done with XML-RPC. So, that means if you write a server that mimics what Manila does you can plug your server into Radio. "/>
			<outline text="In fact, I think this is what Mike Krus is doing, his &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.newsisfree.com/blog/index.php3&quot;&gt;Handsome Radio Blog&lt;/a&gt; is running in PHP. Even if he's not doing it this way, I thank him for giving me the idea. "/>
			<outline text="Postscript: Mike is not using XML-RPC, he's using FTP to connect Radio to PHP. That works too!"/>
