A long time ago, I remember when Microsoft had that kind of brilliance. This time around either Microsoft grows up and learns to be the statesman of the industry that it could be, or we'll do a Linus, and keep doing the work we love, revolutionizing the communication media of the world. If Microsoft won't give us the server platform we need, it's sitting right here on Linux, ready to go, for a very reasonable price, without any lock-in. Finally, I am an Internet developer because it's the platform without the platform vendor. There's enough energy in the platform to make it thru all the turmoil that's sure to come.
Comments are welcome.
