More Mayhem From MSFT's Mundie

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the as-entertaining-as-he-ever-was dept.

Cally writes "Further embarrasingly lame FUD from Craig Mundie of Microsoft. This time, he claims the GPL is at odds with 'commercialization' of software, without which the government gets a smaller tax take. Looks like he's really talking to legislators there ... He also knocks the Sun-led Liberty Alliance Passport SSO service as 'this notion that the world should be offered an alternative.' An alternative?"

    You forgot that Microsoft does not pay any federal income taxes:

    So the federal government has a choice of $30 or $0 for corporate income tax.
    Of course there are other multipliers like personal income tax paid by employees, etc...
