This doesn't say much to me except reconfirming my opinion that  
Eric's ego is totally out of control.  "Microsoft's worst  
nightmare"?  Taking *personal* credit for getting "the Fortune 500"  
to buy in to Linux?  All this on foot of a series of immensely  
tedious books which each strain their chosen metaphor well past its  
limit and a bunch of theories which are Just Plain Wrong in my  
opinion.  The arrogance and Plain Rudeness of his reply to the  
recruiter (who, as has been hashed out on slashdot and elsewhere,  
isn't even a MS employee) is breathtaking.

http://geekz.co.uk/lovesraymond/archive/show-them-the-code says it  
all, IMO.
