Microsoft's Mundie to Continue OSS Outreach

Techie writes "In an interview with eWeek Craig Mundie, Microsoft's new co-head-honcho and chief research and strategy officer, says he plans to continue to push the Redmond software titan forward with its goal of greater interoperability with software licensed under the GPL." From the article: "Even in Bill's own public remarks, he pointed out that he thought his iconic status and the way that was reported tended to overemphasize his role in the company's innovation and execution. This is really a transition that has been in the works for a couple of years, with a couple to go before, and we will see the emergence of a lot of great talent that has today been portrayed as all Bill. This is a company with, in many cases, the best people in the world. "

Something I learned in 4th grade

If you're forced to write a report on something, you can't copy it out of an Encyclopedia, but if you write it in your own words then you're writing a report and not plagurizing. I wonder if that works in code too. Read some GPLed code, and rewrite it in your own words, are you then not plagurizing?

YES!. I am exactly like a terrorist!. There is absolutely no difference at all between my looking at mundies track record on the truth and deciding that he is probably lying again and blowing up a building killing three thousand people!. Those two acts are indisguishable from each other. There is no difference whatsoever!. I am exactly like a islamic fundamentalist.

You on the other hand can read minds!.
