>This reads like something from The Onion, frankly. Open source stifles innovation? I wonder how Mr. Allchin defines "innovation"? Granted, Linux and the open source movement are a potential threat to Microsoft's cash flow, but I don't think that MS executives really need to panic like this quite yet.

Man, I thought it was a joke too until I saw it was for real! The Onion...that publication probably has a better idea of what Open Source is than Allchin does...
