FUD wars
     
        /fuhd worz/ Political posturing, intended to create {FUD},
        engaged in by hardware and software vendors ostensibly
        committed to standardisation but actually willing to fragment
        the market to protect their own shares.  The {Unix
        International} vs. {OSF} conflict is but one outstanding
        example.
