I don't see what the problem is. This in no way involves MS; people change jobs all the time.

The guy that wrote that is a paranoid conspiracy theorist.

Here is his LinkedIn page: http://linkd.in/9nOwZ8

He worked at Microsoft for 2 years and 9 months. He also worked for various Microsoft competitors. Anyone that thinks this man is a Microsoft mole are crazy and should seek professional help.

Wouldn't go as far as that, but yeah people move all the time within tech sector. Very long leap to say Microsoft now has an influence on KDE!

hahhaha.... man you just can't make stuff up and call it news.

When a person changes jobs, he does not continue to work for his old employer, that is how things work in the real world - also known as not the place the author or op living in apparently.

Nokia's been relying on mobile phone user(s) who don't switch phones all the time, hence Symbian still being global market-share leader. This trend will end soon leaving them making more smart-phones, than their existing line up of feature-phones. MeeGo doesn't have the clout that Android has and as of yet nothing interesting (maybe n900) has come from them... I think n8 will be the last heavily promoted Nokia feature-phone, the rest will be Linux-based (MeeGo) smartphones... This guy from MS is supposed to help pull it all back together and perhaps give them some direction a'la Motorola's release of the original Droid...

I would question the credibility from any blogger that calls his site "pwnage". That just reads of 14yr old super nerd sitting in his mom's basement sustaining himself on off brand sodas and potato chips, w/ green skin and falling out hair- braces, thick glasses, poor hygiene...etc...

I may be way off- but that's the image that pops into my head.

For a giggle I looked at the blog.



I don’t consider myself a traitor at all. In fact I can be considered a trojan horse (get a windows job, and recommend Linux when people trust me). A lot of people out there push Free or Open Source software and have day jobs working on proprietary software or hardware. I shouldn’t limit myself to Linux or GNU friendly jobs, as there aren’t many in the Greater Toronto Area. I want to work at a big company managing their servers. I don’t want to be stuck in a Mom & Pop shop for the rest of my life doing the same thing (removing viruses for idiots). Another reason I hate working for small companies is because they often don’t care about the Employment Standards Act. It’s easier to get rid of you and hire a student who is less likely to demand their rights.

Symbian is smartphone OS. And much more capable than Android for an example. N8 is smartphone. Symbian is global smartphone market share leader.

S40 is feature phone OS. S40 is global feature phone market share leader.
