Microsoft's Avalanche No Match For BitTorrent

pcmag: BitTorrent's creator, Bram Cohen, pretty much slams Microsoft and their copycat vaporware called Avalanche...Read his blog HERE if you need a good chuckle this morning.

Despite all the recent hubbub, BitTorrent COO Ashin Navin said there's no reason for the company to concern itself with Avalanche - thanks to a supportive programming community and a longstanding track record..."On the Web, new technologies have to be leaps and bounds superior on a technical level or the users will ignore it," Navin said. "Obviously, Microsoft has significant marketing and financial resources, but their history in writing Internet protocols is very limited."
