Story: OpenOffice developers clear Visual Studio licensing hurdle

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.
