Bill makes a point of not bad-mouthing potential employees. And many
Linux/FreeBSD fans fall into that category.
Note, however, what Microsoft said when Netscape announced plans to
GPL the Navigator source code: How could any business trust software
developed or improved by a loose collection of hackers collaborating
over the Internet? No, for reliable code, you need to deal with a
big company like Microsoft.
I don't know whether to ROTFL or cry.

I agree. But it's a measure of Microsoft's real concern that they're
avoiding any mention of GNU or Linux/FreeBSD. While offering deals
like free copies of NT for students.
