Microsoft Bans Open Source From the Windows Market

Blacklaw writes "Microsoft has raised the ire of the open source community with its Windows Marketplace licence by specifically refusing to allow software covered under an open licence to be distributed. The licence, which anyone wishing to distribute Windows, Windows Phone, or Xbox applications through the company's copy of Apple's App Store is required to agree to, is the usual torrent of legalese — but hides a nasty surprise for those who support open source ideals."

He's completely right, That's not a Troll comment at all. To defend him Balmer did say "Linux is a cancer" so I don't really see your point holding up well. When you don't know what a Troll is it's easy to call them out, Your a car, isn't a car someone who calls a troll wrong?

No a car is not that, just like the com64 isn't a Troll, you just think he is for this comment. I haven't read his other stuff but this one is fine and right.
