I guess the real story lies in the question that was asked, I guess. NM is extremely fair, and knows just how big a role FOSS already plays in his company's operations.

I suspect some crossed wires, or a misunderstood question somewhere, because he wouldn't say that they aren't doing anything in this space when I know that they were (in 2004 itself) addressing a market estimated to be hundreds of millions of US$ in size - a pure FOSS oriented market.

You sure you didn't ask him when he is going to start using Linux on his desktop or something? It would be hilarious, and *would* catch him in an uncomfortable position, because he once modelled for a Windows XP ad. :)

Nah, but that sure would've been funny. I think I mentioned the Linux based sub $300 computer that an Indian institute had developed (IIT?).
