Microsoft is calling the ZSPs for survey
Microsoft is surveying people on the ZOPE providers list about OSS.... I just answered the survey for the hell of it to find out that it was MS who paid for it. Very interesting. Any ideas what this means? Just competitive intel I suppose. Some of the ?'s were pretty funny... such as the one about where do you get support if you don't pay for it. Whoever gets called next, ask the surveyer if it is just the Zope list or if they have other lists that they are calling (I'd like to know and hopefully you would too).

-> Whoever gets called next, ask the surveyer if it is just the Zope list -> or if they have other lists that they are calling (I'd like to know and -> hopefully you would too). Just an FYI... I am a Linux/Unix consultant. A couple of months ago, Microsoft called me asking me questions about Linux and Open Source software in general. This was before I was even on the Zope mailing list. So, no, it's not just a ZSP thing. It would seem they are taking Open Source software seriously, as a competitor. This thing with Red Hat / AOL can only make it a higher priority. --Derek
