"Microsoft only shared their source as a response to Linux. Without it, they wouldn't have shared squat. "
WAHHHHH!
They're only the most profitable company in the whole world, and they can't compete against poor little ol' Linux, which is, as you say, a crappy foreign clone of a real American operating system?
Seems like you need to make up your mind.
BTW, thought you were leaving?
Sun only shared their source because of linux too. Thanks to guys like you, the commies keep getting more and more free stuff. But of course you don't care, so long as you get some free stuff too. For some people, that's just all that life is about, what can they get next just by sticking their hand out.
