Hi,
I would like to seek your views on something...
Microsoft is criticised much by the FOSS community -- one or the other aspect of it. Their software, their ways of doing business, their attitude, whatever. My belief is that whenever somebody criticises they will also have a potential solution in mind -- and I felt, why is it that the solution aspect is barely discussed wrt the Microsoft issue :-) So, I am throwing this question open to you...
Hmm.. why do you think M$ is singled out? We have companies like IBM, sun microsystems etc. respected by FOSS community. Those companies are also doing business, writing software.
So why not throw the question to M$, why they are not ready to accept others ?
BTW, cross posting and having discussion across multiple lists is a very bad idea.
