If you have the head for it the avilable report is a good read, as it explains why M/S has to be rebuilt from scratch. www.theregister.co.uk It just dosent say this. It is not a rant like www.euronet.nl (updated one) But is does back up many of the rant statments. D. |

| 283759 | 2004-10-24 02:27:00 | Kind of reminds me of the Bush Adminitration in Farenheit 9/11 :D with relation to it not being publicized.... Just like the true history of new zealand will never be... (please don't reply on this (http://www.celticnz.co.nz) subject...) |

It's a great read and explains very well the philosophy behind open source. Open source has to be the way to go for security. |

Your idea, and my idea, put together with his idea, with the code freely available for everyone . This does not stop developers putting toghter coppyright "Packages" in a "Managed Package" they just have to release their code to . If their clients dont pay them, they stop the support, and cease to supply upgrades . . The support and the upgrades are the value added marketable, not the code in the package . Competition for the supply of quality managed package service, when, were, and as, the client wants . The model Microsoft does not want to even countenance, because their service, and their products, are way below standard . D . D . |

Was it Stallman who said: "If I have an apple and you have an apple and we swap apples, we both still have one apple. However, if I have an idea and you have an idea and we swap ideas, we both now have two ideas" > The model Microsoft does not want to even > countenance, because their service, and their > products, are way below standard. And this is proof. |

The creative and innovative part is not the ideas themselves, necessarily, but the particular combinations that make up the whole. Patent the component ideas, and no one can write anything new.~ (Richard Stallman) Computers are like air conditioning- they both stop working when you open windows. (Unknown) D. |
