They love Apple, but why?. Is it me or is it weird that so many open source purists, people who swear by it, argue it to death, and would die for it, seem to like Apple, which isn't open source? Maybe I'm missing something. Or maybe it makes sense, if you need to charge for the software (so you can pay the engineers, for example), to hold on to the source. Hmmm. Sorry.

Perhaps because Apple <> Microsoft?

I'm working on a rudimentary RTF to HTML conversion utility. When I post sample code, I like it to be color-coded like it is in the VS.NET IDE (as do other people I'm sure). In the past, I've used TripleASP.net's ShowCode webservice. It's nice, but it's not 100% perfect.
When copying code to the clipboard, VS.NET places it in RTF format. I figured, why not just take the RTF code off the clipboard (complete with color and font information) and convert it to HTML. It's pretty much working right now, but needs some more testing. Plus, instead of using style sheets, I'm emitting <span> tags directly. This makes it easier to just cut/paste code into a blog post without having to worry about having a stylesheet definition in your template.
