Dana Blakenhorn has just been trolling for an audience, saying that Microsoft
is going open source (and whurley argued that Microosft loves open source).
They try to distinguish between open source and Linux as threats. Put
Free/Libre aside for the moment and recall what Microsoft seniors openly
said about "open source". This can truly make you sick.
