What do Free and Open Source Software Leaders Think of Microsoft?

,----[ Quote ]
| No user of free and open source software (FOSS) can escape having an opinion 
| about Microsoft. Microsoft products and technologies represent what FOSS 
| users have left behind. Some consider it increasingly irrelevant, and others 
| a shadowy figure comparable to Satan in the Middle Ages or the Soviet Union 
| during the Cold War. Yet, no matter how members of the FOSS community regard 
| Microsoft, all of us have well-defined opinions on the subject that we can 
| express eloquently at short notice.

Microsoft earnings post-mortem: The cash cows quiver

,----[ Quote ]
| I can’t help but wonder if the lackluster Windows/Office results also can be 
| attributed to Microsoft brass’s complete and crazy obsession with Google (and 
| taking over Yahoo) has resulted in no one minding the Windows store. Kevin 
| Johnson, the head of Microsoft’s Platforms & Services division seems to be so 
| laser-focused on the online-ad business these days that he almost seems to 
| have forgotten Microsoft is still in the software business, too.     
| 
| Microsoft execs’ claims about walking away from the Yahoo deal are nothing 
| more than bluster. A protracted hostile takeover bid is just going to 
| distract not just employees in Microsoft’s online services business, but 
| company management, too. It’s not a pretty picture.
