[ale] [OT] Interesting Take on MS Programming Tools

[Geoffrey]

Call him on it.  I'd ask him to provide examples of the limitations of 
UNIX.  He's probably not got a clue about open source UNIX.

Personally, I'd probably ask him how much M$ bought him for, but that's 
just me.  If he can provide insights as to the reasons for his limited 
knowledge, maybe you can enlighten him.
