Meet Martin Taylor Of Microsoft's Open Source Test Lab

securitas writes "Martin Taylor was recently appointed as Microsoft's open source and Linux strategist and is responsible for Microsoft's open source and Linux test lab, mentioned on Slashdot last week. Taylor says his goal is to change Microsoft's competitive strategy by pursuing a fact-based approach instead of continuing the previous discredit-and-undermine strategy that was characterized by calling open source and Linux software 'a cancer, un-American and bankrupt' among other things. Taylor says he plans to focus on (and fund) studies that 'will highlight Microsoft's advantages in areas such as security, feature-completeness and total cost of ownership.'"

"Fact-based UNIX Debunking. Why confuse the argument by trying to have it match reality?"

This simply means that he is only going to lie 5 times before lunch. This of course is an improvement over the old rules which clear state that all MS employees must tell at least 10 lies before luch or they will get fired.
