Talk:Craig Mundie

This page is quite biased towards the open-source community. I don't have time to paraphrase, but maybe it should have some info from his official bio:
:What's his "official bio?"  Please see my edits to this article.  I worked at Data General with Mudie, and the biography on Microsoft's Website is, to put it politely (which I do in the article) "inflated."  So, before we trust any bio, let's get the facts.  If any of the claims I have made are disputed, I know all of the players who will help to set the record straight.  I would welcome Mudie's own edits to make his bio more neutral.

message: I removed most of the "biographical" information in this article. WP is not a vehicle for expressing the outrage of a small group of people about the general direction a Microsoft exec happened to fart at five years ago. I understand the use of the term "viral" in the same sentence as "GPL" is right up there with stuffing kittens in small glass bottles, but this "biography" needs to be that; otherwise please move the article to "Evil things Craig Mundie said" or create a special category called "Things that give Slashbots ulcers" and attach it to that. 
Oh, and for all the outrage and mention of Stallman popping a coronary there were no references at all, which is surprising at best. It would be useless to attach POV and FACT tags to everything. --klaus

message: Apparently Craig Mundie has a couple of fans that won't let anything they don't like on the page about him. This has been noticed by a number of wikipedia users and it is really despicable what is going on here. The main problem with this article is that these users in their PR campaign are insisting that only information from Mundie's Microsoft biography is worthy of inclusion in this article. So now we are trusting a corporation's whitewashed view of its top executives over mainstream media sources? That isn't even consistent with wikipedia policies.
Statements Against Internet Anonymity and Advocating Licensing Internet Use
This is a matter of public record now. He's said what he thinks, it's been published, and he's given interviews to clarify his statements. Why should this be secretly deleted when Mundie has openly said these things at UN meetings and to major news outlets? It's in the Washington Post for crying out loud! The AP source that was deleted for the laughable non-reason of "removed one citation..." could not be more clear: "He also called for a "driver's license" for internet users." That is a fact. That's what he said at the UN. That's what the AP said he said. He has confirmed that's what he said to the Washington Post. End of discussion.
I find it strange that those of you on both sides of this issue AGREE that his statements against privacy and in favor of licensing people before they can get on the internet are bad, the only difference is one group is trying to conceal it and the other group is trying to make it known.
Delete this and watch the interest in your shady activities grow.
