Microsoft: We're Losing the Open Source Battle

Eric Raymond reproduces a Microsoft memo assessing their battle against Open Source software. Eric also comments on it and draws lessons for the Open Source movement. (That a software development paradigm has been turned into a "movement" is itself telling.) The Register summarizes and comments on the memo also.

The shortest summary: Microsoft's own surveys show that they're making no headway against Open Source.
