Microsoft and open source

30 June 2006  |  Published in Software, Software Patents

Microsoft now has an open source community. You must think it is a joke. Well, no. Their web site is here.

The first posting shows the Microsoft open source lab has no clue on how to deal with spam, proposing an utility which is outdated, as pointed out by a reader. MS reply is that not all users are as advanced as said user and it should keep it simple. However their suggestion is giving a false impression of protection. Add to that every open source OS these days includes Spamassassin. Very much better.
