SpikeSource is a leech. It has become some Intel-Microsoft-funded company that
exploits other people's Free software and tries to buy love from Microsoft and
Intel. SpikeSource used to work with Sun and Linux, but it's obviously serving
as a batsman for the dark side now. This puts its statements in the right
light.

"Linux is a very complete and sophisticated operating system. And there is a
lot of work being done to improve it in and of itself, particularly to make it
easier to use and easier for people to set up on their personal computers."
