Just saw this on : http://www.wired.com/news/news/technology/story/15990.html [snip] The memo is dated 11 August and signed by Vinod Valloppillil, a product manager for Microsoft's engineering group. Microsoft product manager Ed Muth confirmed the document's authenticity, but says it does not represent Microsoft's position or strategy in regard to open-source software.
