You must make your living off the back of open source or do you give your services for free. Well jump on the band wagon while you can.

Sorry dont have the time to read everything that comes out of Microsoft. Not everything that comes out of Micrsoft is bad, they do have some good products. Unfortunately they damaged their reputation in how they did business in the past.

Same thing happend to AT&T and IBM. I remember when IBM came close to being broken up, big-bad-IBM. Now that they are supporting open source, big-good-IBM.

Time will ony tell who is right and who is wrong, but by then will it be too late?
