thoughts on esr

[Ken Gosier]

Just wanted to pass along to anyone else who's interested--

I was a little disappointed esr didn't get to talk about
the economics of open source, but I see from his web page
that these thoughts are contained in The Magic Cauldron
paper.

Also: Did the point about Microsoft having to charge their
stock options against revenues seem a little less than
convincing to anyone else? If this goes through, then
*everyone's* screwed, including people like Red Hat Linux.
And Microsoft would be equipped to handle such storms
better than most.

My $.02. esr was certainly an entertaining and
thought-provoking speaker. (despite the objection raised
above.) Who is to thank for booking him?
