Interesting that you assume that Microsoft will be reading articles written by this community. I don't think the threat is seen to be quite so strong by them. I think that having an article published ahead of time that will form the basis of a speech is useful as it allows for peer-review to happen. Just like in software, the advantages of peer review are most often greater than the competative advantages claimed of secrecy. > Lemme see if I can coax an article on something else from him :-) > > --indra.
