We see them do it all the time. People spent years developing good XML, Microsoft found it was all becoming standardized, so they ate years of experience and digested it into their own forms. They consumed through the browser wars. Do they have any idea of devloping their own ideas? Now they are currently nibbling on OSX ideas of GUI, leaving XP, and for desert they have started on Netscape 6's complete coverage of web technologies- producing MSN explorer. Every time, their food gets digested, and turns into something that, well, it's not quite the food they were eating in the first place. Who is going to clean it up?
