    "I am a non-Microsoft guy working at Microsoft," Hilf said.'
    "Which also apparently makes me either an idiot or a lying turd of a Microsoftie you see sell out all the time." He then added.

    Bullshit! - Microsoft on more than 1 occasion had to hire people through other companies because they couldnt find true Linux experts that would work for them. Personally, I would never work for Microsoft and my current network administration job is spent mostly contributing to opensource.

    The individuals who work at Microsoft are either ignorant, desperate or believe there should be a fascist monopoly in the operating system market. They are /*not/* the average guys that basically want to do good, they are the guys that write Opensource conflicts with good practice, and Opensource is less secure. Maybe they dont smear the really ugly shit like Linus is not the father of Linux or that Linux is communism, but they are the ones that run the bogus studies!

    The good average guys are thrown out for mentioning Microsoft uses Apple Mac.

    Overall, Microsoft may be the `enemy', but the individual employees certainly aren't.

    So you consider Vinod Valloppillil and Josh Cohen just average working people like those working at any other software company?

    Where the heck do you think microsoft gets these venemous ideas and methods from, mars? No. "cancer", "communist", "anti-american" comes directly from their employees.

    Hilf tries to hide it, but you can easily read through the transparent veneer to see he's been thoroughly programmed as well. He certainly has a lot of the microsoft marketdroid-speak.
