hello people,
after listening to all the noise about the OUTLOOK article I decided to
read it and I came across some rather interesting statements...
"Nothing is safe with millions hackers piling onto to the open source code
and changing it according to their wills and fancies"
-- Neeraj Shaabi
Marketing Manager
Microsoft India
coming from Microsoft no surprise, somebody give this guy a clue. I mean I
can understand that he has to defend his company and its products but he
should at least think before he spews out such nonsense. Obviously he has
no idea what the open source model of development is and has never
bothered to look at how linux development is carried out.
People suggestion on what we can do to take care of comments and/or people
like this will be welcome. I am not being militant but this guy really
pissed me off.
but the best is yet to come ..
"How can you have a secure product when its source code is open and freely
available on the internet for all and sundry"
-- Hanif Saurabh
Product Manager
Network Security
HCL Comnet
I mean come on ? does this guy know what security is ? all this when HCL
is one of the first companies to support Linux in India commercially.
what surprises me about thi guy is that he is supposed to be in a position
where he is supposed to give resposible and informed opinion to his
clients.
again any idea how to handle such nonsense.
