Dont buy any product which @Stake has anything to do with - Isolate them and no one will do biz with them.
I call for setting up a free trade group - where all CTO's and other powerful technology people who have buying power will be memmbers of for free and run it.
It will vote for a board and would act in a democratic fashion and would run using donations (non profit org). Companies would try to block CTO's from joining this group - but they won't be able to - they would be isolated.
Whenever a company does somthing wrong - all CTO's would be required to stop buying from them until they come back to their senses. If their company forces them to buy - the company gets the same treatment.
Whoever does not comply - gets the same treatment. The larger the group - the more powerfull it will be. Microsoft would be on its knees and beg for business.
We need to get an initial list of powerful CTO's that would be willing to participate - hopfully they would be the initial board members and make the voting. I suggest using sourceforge to start this group. comments?
