Via Linux-Watch, this is the unbelievable Software Wars map now maintained by Steven Hilton.

I've emailed Mr. Hilton to suggest adding Adobe and the W3C as players as well as Microsoft's competitive technologies on those fronts.

I'd like to see the map in SVG form so that it could be scalable, have links for each technology to authoritative pages, and eventually it could be searchable when clients catch up.

Anyway, awesome/hilarious/interesting stuff in there!
