Don't people get tired of these pointless headline grabbing rants? He sites no specific examples of how vendor "lock-in" has cause harm. Just some vague nonsense about Microsoft + file formats and IBM thown in for good measure (Strange that he didn't mention HP or Epson in his mini ink cartridge rant.... I guess those buttons are not hot enough). I guess he misses the fact that DRM is a publisher issue, not a provider issue but I guess a computer company is an easier target that an amorphous "Hollywood".
I long since allowed my subscriptions to these technical versions of the National Enquirer to lapse and sad to say, I haven't regretted the decision yet.
