Posted by timothy on from the eye-on-the-competition dept.

morcego writes "Yahoo News has a very interesting interview with Bill Hilf, Microsoft's director of Microsoft's platform technology strategy group, who in turn works for Martin Taylor, Microsoft's general manager of platform strategy and Linux point man. From the interview: '"I am a non-Microsoft guy working at Microsoft," Hilf said.'"

    like i said in my other post, the article sucks. big-time.

    "Hilf said he still hears the same-old, predictable questions and perceptions regarding Microsoft's open-source strategy and intentions. His top five:

    # When will Microsoft open source X (Microsoft commercial product)?
    # Why don't you build X (Microsoft commercial product) so it runs on Linux?
    # Microsoft is all-about closed source.
    # Microsoft is anti-open source.
    # Microsoft is always less secure than every open-source product on every front."

    what the fuck is this shit? great article: yeah let's get this guy to list the most frequent questions and concerns that people address to him. and then not seek a single fucking answer to any of them. at all. none. zero.

    fuck you.
