I claimed it was a <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://alexfletcher.typepad.com/all_bets_off/2007/08/a-competitive-a.html#comments" rel="nofollow">'provocative' question</a> because, for a large part of the Open Source/Free Software world, it is. While unthinkable for many, I believe it is going to make sense, but it will take a while before <<<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073802/" rel="nofollow">another Microsoft, inside the Microsoft!</a>>> :) will eventually take over the company. Alex, I totally agree with you. I claimed it was a ‘provocative’ question because, for a large part of the Open Source/Free Software world, it is. While unthinkable for many, I believe it is going to make sense, but it will take a while before < <another Microsoft, inside the Microsoft!>> :) will eventually take over the company.

Microsoft really should consider joining the OSI Board of Directors as an observer. Apple and Google have already done so. A move like this would help them develop a clearer identity & strategy as a participant in the open source bazaar. Alex Roberto,

More than simply provocative, your question is spot on. Microsoft really should consider joining the OSI Board of Directors as an observer. Apple and Google have already done so. A move like this would help them develop a clearer identity & strategy as a participant in the open source bazaar.
