Mark Dain Reddit and Hacker News are full of Microsoft news, maybe I'm bitter but I can't see all this "open source everything!" movement as anything more than a desperate attempt to claw back developers who are moving to OS X and Linux. I don't get why they're doing any of this
Martijn My part of the blogosphere is far from blowing up over this, judging from my RSS reader. That said, I will support any company that decides to go open-source for a myriad of reasons, whether it is Microsoft or someone else. I saw somewhere they will be releasing development tools under MIT? That's a truly free licence, and will allow for many other projects to start borrowing code from it!

Mark Dain What sort of blogs do you read? I'm getting sick of everyone online saying how Microsoft has changed. I just don't want to read about any of this anymore

Martijn Mostly blogs that I found once because of some cool technology thing, and then stayed in my RSS reader because they also had interesting non-tech things to say. People's personal blogs. Though more and more of them have been dropping off because the personal blog feels to be on the way out
