Halloween VII

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the sequels-galore dept.

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.

    That's what I like about slashdot: I don't have to think for myself. The editors tell me exactly what I'm supposed to get from the article with their editorial comments they append to every submission...

      Oh come on. You gotta love Michael Sims.

      "If you don't interpret this document the way I did, you're an idiot."

      I mean really, how often do we see that kind of condescending, insulting attitude from real journalists? It's refreshing to see this flavor of "journalism" for a change.

    Modded from 1 to -1 in 30 seconds? Oh yeah, that was really a coincidence. MICHAEL, YOU ARE NOT A GOD, PLEASE KEEP REMINDING YOURSELF OF THAT. You know, everyone on slashdot already hates you, trolls, ACs and legitamite posters too, why don't you just go somewhere and die and stop trying to protect your image by modding down honest, ON TOPIC comments like mine.

    Decimal is even scarier. Hexadecimal is soothing and good.

    We say look at the underlying political position. Theres no such thing as truth only interpretation..

    We are running an interview series with key figures in the Open Source movement and have got up the first notable, none other than Eric S. Raymond himself.

    As we are politically inclined, and readers might not be, they may think we're asking him the wrong questions, perhaps, but we are interested in what connections he sees in Open Source and the world at large (if any) ... and anyway we love politics.... and we love Open Source... and a good argument.. ;-)
