I think, fundamentally, open source does tend to be more stable software. It's the right way to do things.

Every once in a while an issue comes up where I have to make a statement. I can't totally avoid all political issues, but I try my best to minimize them. When I do make a statement, I try to be fairly neutral.

Those that can, do. Those that can't, complain.

When you hear voices in your head that tell you to shoot the pope, do you do what they say? Same thing goes for customers and managers. They are the crazy voices in your head, and you need to set them right, not just blindly do what they ask for.

With software, you really can replicate and do a lot of very real and active development in parallel, and actually try it out and see what works.

If it is relevant there is always somebody else out there.

I am not out to destroy Microsoft, that would be a completely unintended side effect.
