It is strange that Ozzie said "open source was..." As if he is thinking that they won the war with open source thanks to the FUD deals...

As you know, as Moonlight is free software, we are supposed to ignore this groklaw article as it is an attack to the good free software developers that coded moonlight, curse anyone who dares to speak wrongly of a project that calls itself open source.

Microsoft's #1 rival is Free software (GPL) and GNU/Linux. Ballmer said so in February. Ozzie can pretend it's all under control and find workarounds that poison the Free Desktop. We're not foolish enough to allow this to happen.

Remember, Silverlight was and is the name of a sword used to slay demons in the on-line Java based game known as Runescape. It existed before Microsoft's Silverlight did.
So here we have Silverlight, probably named after the Runescape Silverlight sword, to slay the Adobe flash demon, and we have Moonlight and the obvious "dance with the devil" reference.
Microsoft is a cancerous sore which needs to be revealed for what it is. Praise boycottnovell for its power of truth.
