Microsoft will prevail against Freetards

"Throw eggs at me if you like," Open sources author Savio Rodrigues writes.

Rodrigues, an open source proponent and IBM employee, explains that anyone who thinks the current crop of open source operating systems and applications is going to curtail Microsoft's dominance is simply not living in reality

"This should scare any OSS proponent. It seems like the folks at Redmond have been busy while the OSS movement has been prematurely readying Microsoft's eulogy," he writes in Microsoft will prevail in the face of Freetards.

Microsoft, in fact, is learning from open source developments and evidence of that emerged in Windows Server 2008.

"I hope I'm wrong. But Microsoft simply appears to be meeting the challenge of OSS better than OSS appears to be meeting the challenge of displacing Microsoft."
