Opinion: When determining how to open its formats and share code, Microsoft is responsible to its customers and their real needs, not to open-source believers who want to see the company torn apart.
When people stop whining that Microsoft isn't becoming an open source company, I'll be able to stop writing columns like this one, in which I will (again) patiently explain that people who are expecting Bill Gates to become Linus Torvalds or Richard Stallman are bound to be disappointed.
