In keeping with the tradition begun by Eric Raymond and <BR> 'The Halloween document', I refer to this as the 'Coming up on <BR> Groundhog's Day document'. One intereting thing: "DOJ wants <BR> community service" was scrawled across the top. <BR> <BR> An Open Letter to the Linux Community from Bill G. <BR> <BR> <BR> As you may know, I have recently lost my job as Chief Executive of the <BR> world's most powerful software company. You don't need to worry about <BR> me or my family, though. I still have a job as software architect and <BR> thinker. Our cars are paid for and we have a little money in the bank. <BR> We'll be fine. <BR> <BR> Now that I have some time on my hands, I'd like to join your community <BR> and help out. After all, if not for a hand up from friends like IBM <BR> and Apple, I might never have reached a position to crush them. <BR> <BR> The way I see it, we each have a problem that the other can help. I'm <BR> bored and I'm so stinking rich that, short of funding my own manned <BR> Mars mission, I can't possibly spend it all. Your problem is easier. <BR> You want to dominate the world. Not a single one of you has ever done <BR> it, but I have. <BR> <BR> Titles aren't important to me. "Leader" will be fine. Let's give that <BR> poor Finn some relief. You've leaned on him too long. Besides, he <BR> works for my buddy, Paul. Let's help Paul to get his undivided <BR> attention for a while. <BR> <BR> As leader, I would keep my eye on the prize, and yours as well. I <BR> would quickly introduce some healthy paranoia. No more "Microsoft is <BR> dead" talk. Over the years, I've heard that mainframes are dead, IBM <BR> is dead, COBOL is dead, Apple is dead, Novell is dead, Unix is dead, <BR> etc.. Smugness makes you complacent. Complacency gets you killed. <BR> Didn't you guys pay any attention to Netscape? Started to believe <BR> their press clippings. Heh, heh. I still chuckle when I picture that <BR> Andreeson kid's face once he realized how screwed they were. <BR> <BR> These are dangerous and exciting times. A whole new product is coming <BR> out-Windows 2000. A lot of people have been waiting for it. A lot of <BR> people are going to buy it and use it. Steve, the guy who took my old <BR> job, is your worst nightmare. Believe it or not, I care about the <BR> technology. Steve doesn't. He's a marketing guy all the way. His first <BR> priority is winning. His second priority is to achieve his first <BR> priority. He will sell, sell, sell, sell, sell. The product will get <BR> better, too, because that gives him something else to sell, sell, <BR> sell, sell, sell. <BR> <BR> Sun Tzu said that all warfare is based on deception. That's what <BR> Microsoft has been pulling on you, and you've been taking the bait. I <BR> know that you love your OS and the software that it supports. You need <BR> to understand that Windows 2000 has a lot going for it as well. It <BR> certainly is the most technically advanced Windows yet. Honestly, <BR> though, nothing in it is new. Some of its new features merely catch it <BR> up with Linux and bring it closer to commercial Unices and to Netware <BR> Directory Services. We could argue and measure all day trying to <BR> figure out which one is better. We won't do that because it doesn't <BR> matter. All those benchmarks and technical comparisons? Misdirection, <BR> plain and simple. <BR> <BR> Our real problem is not technology, it's inertia. We face a bazillion <BR> MCSE's out in the field and a bazillion CIO's who buy Microsoft <BR> because they know how. End users think they know Windows. They're <BR> afraid of Linux because Windows has been so bad. I saw one report that <BR> people's computers get more reliable over time. Why? They stop doing <BR> things that make their computers crash. They learn a million little <BR>
