Ask Microsoft's Linux Lab Manager

Posted by Roblimo on from the we-love-open-source-but-hide-it-well dept.

Microsoft Linux Lab Manager Bill Hilf has been mentioned on Slashdot before, not to mention (as you might expect) on Microsoft Watch. His latest high profile coworker, Daniel Robbins, has also gotten a bit of Slashdot attention. Got any questions for Bill he hasn't already answered elsewhere? Post them below (one per post, please). We'll send him 10 - 12 of the highest-moderated ones and post his answers next Monday.

    sometimes the responses of people like him help the rest of us weedout the malcontents who are a big disservice to the /. community.

    A lot of what is rated insightful/informative here sometimes leaves a lot to be desired. It can be hard to distinquish between agenda and fact.

    I would love to see even more of these interviews. Finally you can elect to not see these on /. by editing your user preferences.

    Doesn't working at MS isolate you somewhat from the OSS community? What do you do to keep your OSS perspective and skills current?

    You're missing the point. Baby penguins makes it political. Baby ducks just makes it senselessly cruel.

    So, ha! I counter your unfunny pedantry with my own!
