New Sidekick Will Run NetBSD, Not Windows CE
,----[ Quote ]
| Many sites are reporting that the next Sidekick LX 2009/Blade, from Danger
| (acquired by Microsoft early in 2008), is going to run NetBSD as their
| operating system, causing Microsoft's recruiters to look for NetBSD
| developers.

Attracting Students to C# With FreeBSD
,----[ Quote ]
| Giga Information Group analyst Rob Enderle says Microsoft is trying to
| win the hearts and minds of computer science college students who are
| currently enamored of Linux and open source.
|
| Giga's Enderle maintains Microsoft chose FreeBSD because it's "viewed
| as being neutral, whereas Linux is viewed as being a competing
| platform."

Openness is not a Poison Pill at Yahoo!
,----[ Quote ]
| We've been on the openness road for a long, long time at Yahoo. And we take
| it rather seriously. Some times it hasn't been as visible as others, but
| believe me, the trend is quite clear when you look at all the data. The Open
| Source adoption and work. The APIs. The way we communicate with users and
| partners. The Blogs. The RSS feeds....
|
| You'll be reading more and hearing more about openness at Yahoo! from me and
| Yahoo's much higher up the food chain in the coming months....If you think
| the last few weeks are big, you haven't seen anything yet!
