Well I'm thinking there might be a few employees there who aren't too
keen on all this 'asset maximisation' strategy we know as proprietary
closed source software.

But then again, it really is against their corperate culture, this is
the company that stood behind the big shift from academic sharing, to
closed off boxed products in software when this was all kicking off.

Even if a majority of employees wanted to, they'd have to get rid of
most of their upper management and share holders before they could turn
that kind of mindset around.

Anyway, enough of that. Invite the folks at the Microsoft lab to our
Release Party, I still do want the chance to talk.

Best Regards, Martin Owens
