But the whole thing was framed from a completely false standpoint: 
"volunterrs vs Microsoft". Essentially, this is microsoft vs a loose 
alliance of sun, novell, and Red Hat, overwhelmingly Sun. There aren't any 
volunteers making any significant contributions to the core OOo code. Open 
Source is a weapon in the battles between companies that can afford to 
employ good programmers. 

Everyone in the article -- Forrester, MS, the journalist -- talked as if 
that wasn't true, at least right until the very end.
