Quote From Microsoft: "open Source Is Neither An Industry Fad, Nor A Magic Bullet"

Here is an article that talks about the growing number of applications Microsoft is releasing with open source access.

I remember listening to a recording of a conference call not very long ago, where a Microsoft employee talked about how Microsoft does not hate the concept of open source per se, they just have a business problem with the GPL.

One of the readers who posted a comment to the above linked article calls Microsoft "hypocritical, also ridiculous" for coming up with a way of circumventing GPL called "Shared Source".
