Microsoft exec calls for calm on OSS site | |

Microsoft extended an olive branch to the open source community with the launch of Port 25, but visitors to the Web site have been treating the branch as if it were poison ivy. Port 25 is a Web site that offers a look into the Microsoft Open Source Software Lab. Launched in 2004, the lab is the software company's attempt to test interoperability between Microsoft software and open source solutions. Its other stated goal is to make IT professionals with UNIX/Linux skills more proficient in the Windows environment -- and vice versa. | ||

| Ms should just give it up. It's not very good at faking sincerity, and everyone knows how full of BS they are. When a man of God thinks you're evil, that pretty much says it all. |

| It is amazing the trash that spews from people. Come on give it a rest. MS is a company like every other public company. They are there to make mopney and enrich thier shareholders. And evil? Don't you think your zealotry is getting a little out of hand? |

""Even when I call Microsoft an 'economic terrorist' [in a recent LXer.com column] I don't hate Microsoft."
I think the "Reverend" is out to break the 2nd, 9th and 10th commandments. 2: Worshipping a Penguin instead of god. 9: Self evident. He does hate Microsoft. And he's lying about it. 10: And he's jealous of Microsoft |

"with a sincere love for OSS and Linux..."
There's the problem right there: these guys need girlfriends. When you start mixing "love" and "Operating System" and/or "Open Source" in the same sentence, you need to get away from the computer for awhile. |

Speaking of Open Source zealotry, take a look at this little gem:
http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2006/04/17/perens_launches_open_source_domain_parking_service.html "Perens downplayed the significance of Microsoft's market share gain via parked domains." Of course, the market share of OSS is not skewed in the least by parked domains. <cough> Nonetheless, "It's time for the Free Software/Open Source community to fight back." That's right, folks, let's go to battle against Microsoft (even though they are the minority in this arena). That's what OSS is all about. |

"Who makes it or how it is licensed is irrelevant. But if a two-headed alien came tomorrow with a truly better matrix, most of us in open source would probably start to investigate and adopt it."
Whats hilarious is the clear implication that they would rather use a product from a "two-headed alien" than one from Microsoft. Now thats fanaticism! |

#5 Thats hilarious!
"In fact, the open source Apache web server has been the primary beneficiary of any "appearance" benefit from parked domains. Apache is used by domain registrars Register.com, 1&1 Internet, Dotster and DirectNIC, while Go Daddy and enom use Windows Server 2003 and Network Solutions runs on the Solaris OS and SunOne server." Ok ... I'll keep this in mind when zealots point to Apache market share. Most of it is parked domains. |
