well,
sorry I am jumping late. Only today did I read it.
While there is a lot of FUD, I do relate to some of the points made by MS
guys.
I do believe that even open source needs funding to grow and manage
innovation :)
I am in that spot right now and believe me it is a bitch to figure out :)
Without proper "financing of research and innovation" it isn't as fast or
powerful as proprietary funded models.
There is a pragmatic solution we believe ;-)
