What does this tell us about the technical community? Coders are either working for Microsoft, writing WindowsXX programs, or writing open source. Doesn't Microsoft employ like 50000 programmers? Do they have opinions or do they keep their heads down and make as much money as possible? Could/. solicit a reply from a representative group of MS employees as to their job satisfaction?
My point in short is that the technical communtiy seems to either support MS and keep their mouth shut about ethics or hates them.
