Eric Raymond, et alia, released a letter today addressing Steve Ballmer's more frequent musings about taking parts of Windows OpenSource. (http://linuxtoday.com/stories/4801.html) Ed Muth has been trying to FUD open source with his foot in his mouth a lot about how Open Source (specifically Linux) won't work for the typical tech buyer (i.e. CIO), mostly because anyone can hack open sources. His latest quote: "We have been able to avoid the fractionalization of the Windows NT marketplace by bringing the work that people do back into a well-controlled source tree and making sure it gets subjected to the same quality control," said Ed Muth, Microsoft's group manager for Windows 2000. http://www.zdnet.com/filters/printerfriendly/0,6061,2239301-2,00.html This is just *BEGGING* for a response from an open source project with a core team. Anyone know where I could find such a project? :-) -- Adam To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
