I am one who enjoys the irony of MS supporting something they believe is a "cancer" to their business. But... I do hope they are getting these ads through doubleclick, because I don't think MS is stupid. They have a tradition of fostering dependence and then using that dependence to their own ends. Not looking a gift horse in the mouth had serious repercussions for the Trojans. >>> blutgens at sistina.com 08/23/02 09:33AM >>> On Thu, Aug 22, 2002 at 03:28:21PM -0500, Florin Iucha wrote: >> VA needs money, Microsoft gives them money, they take it? >I was going to write a long reply about moral values, freedom, money but it >got too long... It's a pretty moot point anyway. If M$ wants to fund the devel, upkeep, and bandwidth costs of the sourceforge servers through advertising so be it. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Besides, sourceforge hosts all kinds of software, not just free stuff.
