Nothing in this article is directly tied to M$. ( yet ) Until >then, comments like the one in this post are pure, unadulterated FUD I find it quite interesting that there has been *no* comment as to how ESR wound up with the document that he then comments on. All said, the document has the *feel* of being what a group at Microsoft would write. It doesn't read like a bad parody. If it's a fake, it is a carefully crafted fake that *could* be true. -- "There are two types of hackers working on Linux: those who can spell, and those who can't.
