With this move, Microsoft aims to strengthen its position in government markets, where it faces growing competitive pressure from free open-source software.

How about that! Those lucky dogs! But what about the rest of us? How come I don't get the opportunity to weave my own technology into Winderz and adapt it to my needs? :confused:

In that case, Bill, why not go the whole distance and put Winderz under the GPL?

Does anyone else find this extremely disturbing? Yeah, like the Russians are going to use the Windows source code in order to "fend off hackers".
They are more then likely going to do a little hacking of thier own. All .gov addresses running IIS beware . . .
BTW, wouldn't it be great to know where the source code is made availible on the net? That in itself is funny.
