Ingrid's back! For 10 points, who can tell me what this has to do with Visual Studio licensing? Or Microsoft's licensing structure?

Wait, what's that I see- could it be that this story has an anti-Linux angle? That open-source optimizing compilers aren't available for Windows? Actually, that's not true either.

So given the choice of (1) Linux advocacy, (2) non-investigative 'journalism' which actually paints Linux in a negative light, or (3)specious anti-Microsoft rhetoric, Ingrid picks all three!

The National Enquirer has more integrity.
