Hey!  I'm indignant; why, if you jokers were earnest about 
demonstrating Python's commercial applicability, you'd apply
Spambayes' algorithms to the dual, and presumably highly 
remunerative, problems of designing spam that readers answer.
This community just isn't *serious* enough.

And now, for something completely different, I'll tender a
personal view:  I think Mr. Gates and Python are actually
destined to get along uncharacteristically well.  Roughly, I
suspect the habits and motivations of the two are so skew,
that the usual "embrace and extend" simply won't obtain.  I
soberly expect IronPython to work out well for both Microsoft
and Python.

That changes nothing about my long-term feelings toward
Microsoft and Python.
