[PLUG-Devel] Hi all

[Josh Coffman]

I do know Tim, and can tell you he is definitely no sell-out.
I think his official title is (or was) Technical Evangelist. To a certain
extent, talking about MS products is his job. I also know he can and will be
frank about things. Basically, he's employed to learn about MS products and
mess around at conferences then go and tell companies and developers about
them. those who want to know.

The job is not trolling on forums or user groups trying to convince people
of anything.

I think the original purpose of this was to discuss Silverlight/Moonlight,
the purpose of them, and MS's role. If you're not interested because of MS
being involved, then fine. feel free to ignore this thread.

Personally, I'm very interested. It would kind of bridge a couple worlds for
me, and making expanding my linux/oss world easier.
