In other news, Daniel Robbins worked for Microsoft at one point.
Therefore, Gentoo is not 'truly FOSS'.
(sheesh.)

PJ's comment when she posted this story in newspicks Posted Feb 7, 2010 12:33 UTC (Sun) by hingo (guest, #14792) [Link] Unfortunately, this seems's to perfectly capture the depth of PJ's "analysis" lately: Look for a connection with Microsoft and you have solid evidence that this is the bad guy. The unfortunate thing is that MSFT is involved in enough bad things that once in a while you get lucky with this methodology, but it still doesn't make it a real analysis. (For instance, in the SCO case this kind of thinking did occasionally turn up interesting evidence, in later stages probably mor FUD than real MSFT connections.)There's a lot you could say about Matt, but "he once blogged something nice about MSFT" isn't really the thing to focus on. You could however say, if you're posting one or more blog posts per day, you'll find out you're not the expert of everything, and by pure statistics you'll sometimes write silly things. Feeding PJ: Microsoft has published more GPLv2 code than my employer, and we only publich 100% FOSS stuff ever.
