I wonder how many people will think I've gone mad, but here goes anyway:
I believe that in a few years Microsoft will be a major participant in
the field of Open Source and Free Software.
Just like Sun/IBM/SGI/Oracle it will not mean it will dump all it's
propritery technoogy to SourceForge and sign Stallman as the new CEO
(unless of course Apple will build a Mac that runs on Intel Chips... oh
wait!) but they will be a corporate member of the comuunity just like
all the other corporate behemoth.
