This doesn't say much to me except reconfirming my opinion that
Eric's ego is totally out of control. "Microsoft's worst
nightmare"? Taking *personal* credit for getting "the Fortune 500"
to buy in to Linux? All this on foot of a series of immensely
tedious books which each strain their chosen metaphor well past its
limit and a bunch of theories which are Just Plain Wrong in my
opinion. The arrogance and Plain Rudeness of his reply to the
recruiter (who, as has been hashed out on slashdot and elsewhere,
isn't even a MS employee) is breathtaking.
http://geekz.co.uk/lovesraymond/archive/show-them-the-code says it
all, IMO.
