Some disturbing yet odd news coming in;
Gentoo Founder Joins Microsoft
The founder and chief architect of the popular Linux distribution Gentoo Daniel Robbins, has taken up a job at Microsoft. He describes his new job as "helping Microsoft to understand Open Source and community-based projects". While in the midst of hastily packing to move to Redmond, Robbins nonetheless managed to find the time to finalize the transfer of Gentoo's intellectual property (essentially copyrights on ebuilds and other software as well as soon-to-be trademarked Gentoo logos) to the not-for-profit Gentoo Foundation, Inc. From OSNews.
Here's a 'choice' comment;
"I wouldn't lose any sleep over Microsoft. Their idea of innovation is calling index.html -> default.htm
In other words they take what already exists, tweak it so that it's incompatible with the current standards, rename it and call it their great invention."
