Why Does Microsoft Pretend To Be Open Source-Friendly?
We’re going old school — like, long-before-your-editor-was-born school — to set the mood for this one. Microsoft’s been talking open source again, which usually leads to anger in the open source community, double-talk from Redmond and confusion for the rest of us.
Not long ago, Microsoft dropped a white paper on how great a job it’s doing of “actively participating in open source.” You can download the white paper here, but we’ll warn you that the PDF crashed your editor’s Firefox browser multiple times but worked fine in Internet Explorer (seriously). That’s just a word of warning. That’s all we’re saying. Any irony you might derive from that little revelation is purely your own and not the responsibility of RCPU.
