[PLUG-Devel] Hi all

[Josh Coffman]

[snipped all]

I want to speak up on behalf of Tim. He is a dev/tech guy. Don't think of
him as having 'drank the MS cool aid'. Yes, he is fully competent at his
job, as is Scott Guthrie himself. I know Tim to be more 'one of us' than
'one of them'; as I think Scott Guthrie is as well. In fact many techies
from MS that I've met are far more grounded than the general perception on
this list of the corporate entity that MS is. Scott Gu has great influence
at MS, and is clearly very helpful with Miguel and the mono team. I find
that re-assuring.

Basically, please differentiate the MS techs from MS the corp.

As far as silverlight conspiracies, I think my business theory is a better
explanation as to why the Corp is supporting Scott Gu/Miguel De
Icaza/Mono... Silverlight won't succeed as a tech unless it works on 98%+ of
client machines browsing those web sites. So they are helping themselves by
helping others.
