Except there's very few people dumb enough to fit into that category.
Putting aside the whole Google not being evil and playing an active and healthy role in the community - which clearly differentiates them from Microsoft for anyone who pays just a slight bit of attention.
The simple fact of both the protocol and platform being entirely open mean that you don't need to like/use Google to still use Wave-compatible products.
I'm just hoping that Microsoft don't do their usual thing: hire a team of monkeys to create an incompatible proprietary competitor, which is then shoe-horned into IE, Office, Outlook, etc and gets picked up by all the retarded Microsoft-only shops, and prevents the real Wave from fully succeeding.
