To avoid hi-jack of my thread, here is Dicks comments for replying 1. Dick Wall : Incidentally, I was willing to give Microsoft the benefit of the doubt with regards to the code contribution and was pleasantly surprised. In the days since it appears that they contributed back to avoid a GPL violation though. Not wrong, but not the altruism we were led to believe initially. Microsoft has a long pattern of attacking linux (Linux is a cancer anyone) so is it any surprise I am not exactly their biggest fan. If they really want to make a good contribution, how about the video codecs Moonlight needs to be on an even footing?
2. Dick Wall : Casper, can you elaborate on what you thought the FUD was? Sure - we ramble a lot and opinions are by their nature subjective, but what do you believe was FUD (which generally I take to mean lies?). Was it the ISO story? I think we had most of the broad facts right about that one even if we had to look up the details. Certainly there are enough irregularities around that whole thing to be suspicious. Was it something else? It's all well and good to wave the FUD flag around, but how can we have a discussion if you don't call anything out specifically?
