"It's an abomination to anyone who does programming that the concept of 
every possible way of converting between a programming object and an XML 
file (and vice versa) can be owned by one company ... Should someone 
else want to save a programming object in the form of an XML file, 
Microsoft can now charge them for the privilege or simply refuse them 
permission to do it at all in the US."

Yikes.
