I was going to write a reaction to Ray Ozzie’s comments on Microsoft and Open Source. First off this is a blog post which just quotes some of his comments. One must be careful when that happens, and I would prefer to read an entire transcript. Still there is enough context there to work with. I have been waiting for over a year to hear from this titan. It saddens me to read these excerpts.

I never write a post all in one go, and while doing other things I saw another blog post about this subject. It is much better than anything I could have ever written and sums up every point I wanted to make; then continues on to a level I am incapable of. So go read that.
