the statement "the problem with the loosely organised open source community is that things are rather slow to move as those individuals have their own full time job" is perhaps the result of MS's reseller training program. yesterday a friend sent me some links from MS, and it led me to their learning center which "tactfully" discourage their potential clients not to use opensource

go and take a look... :) they even quote the linux logo as

"The origin of the Linux penguin logo is not clear. One story says the plump and content Linux penguin was created to represent Linux's number of applications and perceived customer satisfaction with the product. Another anecdote links the penguin logo to Linus Torvalds' affection for a Finnish ice cream with a penguin mascot."

many more.. when i have i am gonna make screen shots then put in my blog :)

enjoy ;)

ps: you need a passport account view! so get a hotmail account :p

regards,
SianLun, not a reseller at all :p
