Halloween VII

mjh writes "ESR has reviewed the latest Microsoft leaked Linux strategy document. A very interesting read. Summary: OSS is winning some battles, but Microsoft is poised to bring out bigger and nastier guns." To the extent that people read it and gain some insight into what Microsoft is actually thinking about Linux and Open Source Software, it's useful. To the extent that anyone draws a conclusion from this document like "we've got Microsoft on the run", that's just idiotic.

I really think this is what MS staffers do for fun at the Halloween party! They probably draw straws, and the one to draw the shortest one has to write up the "leaked strategy memo on Linux" for the year!

Has there really been 7 of these things already?

Reportedly The Leaked Stragey Document only runs on an ATI RADEON 9700, and is pretty slugish even on the most high-end 3Mhz PC's. Oh wait - that's the leaked Doom 3 Alpha, never mind.

I can hear the preview now...

scary piano music in the background...

Deep voice: Just whn you thought it was safe to turn off your computer..

Someone in a Bill Gates mask jumps out from behind the desk and starts chasing the user while brandishing a giant paperclip.

Paperclip: You look like you're being hunted by a madman in a Bill Gates mask. Do you need any help?
