  Microsoft needs geek appeal
Time: 10:54 EST/15:54 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Brian Kvalheim

I thought I had a pretty good handle on the differences between the open-source community and the traditional proprietary approach to software development. But watching a Microsoft spokesperson defend his company and its whole approach to business in front of a room full of Linux zealots last week helped crystallize the gulf between the two camps--not just in business strategy but in fundamental philosophy and political bent. First off, Microsoft deserves some credit for actually attending the panel debate and addressing a pretty tough crowd--the Redmond gang would be hard pushed to find a less sympathetic audience than the faithful filling the hallowed halls of Linux Expo at London's Olympia.
