Microsoft Launches Its Own Open Source Foundation
darthcamaro writes "Microsoft already had its own open source (OSI-approved) licenses, its own open source project hosting site and now it's adding its own non-profit open source foundation.
That's right, the company that is still banging the patent drum against open source now has its own 501(c)(6) open source foundation. Officially called the CodePlex Foundation, it's a separate effort from the CodePlex site and is aimed at helping to get more commercial developers involved in open source. Considering how they continue to attack Linux and open source, will anyone take them seriously?"
The fact that you were wrong about what something as basic as LINQ is doesn't make me have a high opinion of your other statements.
Worms. Operating system. Worms. Operating system. I'm working here. Straining my brain. Which operating system is full of worms, viruses, trojan horses, and other signs of rot? Worms........

Russia only had one czar at a time. The US currently has about 30 of them.
upon the advice of my lawyer, i have no sig at this time
The fact is that Adolph Hitler was a Catholic Jew
The problem here is, you won't be able to come up with a single credible source to back you up on this. The rumors surrounding your Hitler == Jew myth are based on non-evidence regarding his grandmother getting knocked up while working the grounds at a rothschild estate. Bullshit.

Are some of you people really this fucking stupid? Of course Microsoft attacks Linux and Open Source. That is part of their competition. Just like they attack Apple. That's what businesses do. Apple, Open Source and Linux attack Microsoft back just as hard (and most of the time with just as much fud).
Its like you people expect Microsoft to produce an ad that says "Our software isn't perfect and Open Source might work better for you and save you money in the process, but hey, buy our $200 product anyway!"
I want a new quote. One that won't spill. One that don't cost too much. Or come in a pill.
Just to nit pick but Hitler was Catholic, Gott mit uns remember? He sought (and got) Papal blessing, he was committed against the theory evolution, his eugenical ideas derived from the idea of a holy race or "choosen people" he didn't even consider Jesus a Jew, preferring to believe in an "Aryan Jesus".
Now, Hitler building a science museum, THAT would have ulterior motives.
But... the future refused to change.
