MS open source? ridiculous

quote:

"But which company is open source's biggest threat in 2007? The one clinging to an operating system and productivity suite monopoly? Or the one that controls your search queries, e-mails, instant messages, photos, documents and soon phone calls without ever discussing an open standard that will let you manipulate all that data or let you move it to a new service provider?"

I host my own emails, docs and photos.

I don't use google's IM, nor their phone service.

So I guess MS still qualifies as the biggest threat.

All the more when they release "Microsoft GNU/Windows 3000" in 2009, with a brand new OSI logo.

They're the ones that have constantly been taking blows at linux and OSS whenever it could, saying it's of poor quality, that the license sucks, that its users suck, blablabla...

Yet now they want to join the family because they see the support for OSS is strong?

Screw them.

Should their license get approved, I should think MS will show us soon enough how to regret it.
