This week, Jim Allchin of Microsoft made an idiotic speech before
Congress, trying to persuade them that open source software was a
dangerous trend and something they ought to limit. He went so far as to
claim that it "threatens innovation". Of course, we all know that
Microsoft's definition of innovation means using monopoly power to crush
competitors and steal ideas. Maybe that's more like the American way
that Allchin has in mind. You can read all about this drivel at:
