Microsoft's open source and Linux strategist and is responsible for
[3]Microsoft's open source and Linux test lab, mentioned on Slashdot

strategy by pursuing a fact-based approach instead of continuing the
previous discredit-and-undermine strategy that was characterized by
calling open source and Linux software 'a cancer, un-American and
bankrupt' among other things. Taylor says he plans to focus on (and
fund) studies that 'will highlight Microsoft's advantages in areas such
as security, feature-completeness and total cost of ownership.'"

[0]pipeb0mb asks: "A few years ago, I worked for Chilliware, Inc. as
the 'Technical Development Manager'. Some of you may remember us for
the software iceSculptor, Mohawk and Mentor. Chilliware folded rather
quickly and harshly back in May of 2001 due to money issues. Within
days of the first layoff, everyone was gone, from the CEO and VP's to
the receptionist. Now, years later, I've been digging through some old
CDs, and am reminded that I still have the final production source code
for the products we released in the retail channel. I've attempted to
contact several folks over the past couple of years to gather
information about the software and who owns it now. To no avail though.
Either I get an 'I don't know' or 'No one' from the dis-interested
parties. I feel like these programs are my children that never got a
fair shot. I hate to see so much work wasted and lost to the ages. So,
Slashdot: What do I do with this source code? It's a great deal of well
commented and well written code, performed by over 100 developers in a
former Soviet Republic (who formerly worked with Boomerang Software).
Where do my binary children go now?" As things are now, if a company
folds, the code is buried and forgotten unless someone buys the rights
to it, before the source code is lost. This issue was discussed [1]a
long time ago and there didn't seem to be much in the way of answers.
Have 3 years made any difference?
