Microsoft To Open Source Some of Silverlight

Kurtz writes with word that Microsoft is about to follow in Adobe's footsteps by releasing the source code to part of its Silverlight technology. The news comes less than a week after Adobe announced plans to open source the Flex SDK. Microsoft is hungry to build the developer base for its rich Internet app tools, if it can.

    Let me fill you in on the scoop, Patricia, at the end of the day, it's just some stupid web 2.ohhh my god make it stop, gimmick. Until we see what can be done with it, that truly can't be done before, and really ought to be done anyways, it's just handwaving and gesturing the likes of which can be topped only by the special gals down at the corner, you know the ones, your mom hangs with them, oh yeah, hookers.

    So why not join the winning team for a change, grow a pair of balls and stop kissing ass to the satan worshiping msft hordes who promise nothing but a quick fix for the technologically adolescent flashy addicted lunatics that run around like chickens with their heads cut off spouting "it's a new paradigm! It's a new a paradigm!"
