Could Microsoft Be Going Open Source: Through Linux?
,----[ Quote ]
| This would give Microsoft an open source future in a very painless way:
| adopt the already established Linux platforms as your own. Extend the
| olive branch, give them their new GPL 3 and reap the benefits of
| Linux in the commercial market, the future commercial market based
| on open source.

Microsoft's one-two punch
,----[ Quote ]
| The game goes like this: On the one hand, suggest that Linux might
| infringe on some of their patents. On the other hand, pay a few
| Linux distributions to integrate a technology (OOXML) that people
| think actually infringes on Microsoft's patents. That makes it
| easier to convince other people to pay up.

Microsoft's true battlefront against Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| The Open Source community, and not just Linux, needs to wake up, stop
| being lazy and start fighting again. If they won't, then they may as
| well just declare Microsoft the winner, because if we, the members of
| the Open Source community don't start fighting back like we used to,
| and soon, the victory is and will be entirely Microsoft's. And after
| seeing Vista and their recent ideas of what "quality software" is, I
| certainly don't want them to win.
