“… this is where I vent my spleen at these memoranda and
everything they represent about the Borg of Redmond…. I’m mad as
hell, and I’m not going to take it any more…”
“These memoranda lay naked the assumptions of Microsoft’s
corporate culture — the insularity, the arrogance, the obsessive
drive to control both markets and customers, the casual acceptance
of FUD tactics, and the perversion of what should be open standards
into devices for monopoly lock-in.”
“More specifically, they reveal exactly how seriously Microsoft
takes the threat from Linux and other open-source projects. And
they reveal in detail the dirty tricks Microsoft is willing to use
to stop them.”
