Leaked Microsoft Memo
I discovered this leaked Microsoft
memo when reading slashdot.org. Initially
there was concerns that it was a hoax but it is now confirmed to be true.
It outlines some of Microsoft's ideas in defeating their rivals in particular
those in the Free Software (Open
Source) world. I've enclosed the memo as is and also a version with
comments by Open Source advocate Eric Raymond. Choose whatever version
you prefer. I've also included links to the related slashdot articles and
other interesting links. Remember if their plans were to succeed then it
would reduce the level of competition in the industry making Microsoft
more powerful and able to dictate the future of computing. As yu should
know monopolies are a bad thing and choice is vital. Don't let Microsoft
get away with it.
