Re: They have hired top Linux people before
""Maintain Microsoft ideological purity and follow Dodo into extinction or be pragmatic, make money and survive and, being the intelligent pragmatist that he is, he has chosen the latter option."""
I do not think it has anything to do with that, it is more to do with the fact that lots and lots of people do not even consider using MS products, MS is losing enterprise mind-share fast (At the same pace Linux improves) and they know that once the market realises it can do without MS's extortion it is game over.
MS is just trying "Destroy all penguins" version 3.1 nothing else.
I will believe that anything has changed at MS when they release anything that matters to them as GPL and they stop suing everybody for patent money.
Until then: IT's A TRAP!
