For me it is Free Software and not Open Source. I have heard Microsoft
executives boast of their six 'open source' projects in Sourceforge.
How does it help? Is Microsoft in any way committed to championing the
cause of software freedom?
For someone who sells a magazine named after one of the more
well-known and sucessful Free Software programs, this might be a good
chance to make money but is highly damaging for the Free Software
community and software freedom.

I witnessed that, when I visited the Microsoft office in Hyderabad in
December 2005.

Wow! Stupid joke.
Never followed Linux for You much, and would not do so in future.
