Ok then, I'll help you out by pointing out my issues with what I see
over at http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=3D8992=20
#1. The article needs to be renamed. I'll suggest the following: Microsoft =
speeds up "Shared Source" campaign.
#2. Reword the following incorrect and misleading statement: "Windows open =
in new office".
#3. Elaborate on this contract that victims of SS must sign. Without bringi=
ng focus to this, you create a misleading sugar-coated image of Shared Sour=
ce that is far too "warm and fuzzy" when compared with reality.
Personally, it looks to me like this article was written up in Redmond.

" " Adam,

" " Mike's right: he and the INQUIRER staff "get it" regarding Open Source
" " and Microsoft's cynical Shared Source campaign to co-opt IT mindshares.
" " The INQ's term "Vole" for Microsoft is surely not a fawning compliment.
" "
" " Further, I suggest to you that such mistakenly outraged letters sent to
" " neutral or sympathetic publications and journalists are not appropriate
" " or helpful to Open Source. Instead, they give FOSS advocacy a bad name.
