Another interesting question, how many linux magazines would there be if we didn't have Microsoft paying top $$ for ad space. Hey, I work in open source, maybe if I put a .NET bumper-sticker on my car Microsoft would make my car payments! Then I wouldn't need to bill so many hours and could spend more time working on my project ;) Personally, I can't think of a better use for Microsoft's money than inadvertently funding open source. It's pretty hilarious. -David Brian wrote: > > On Thu, 22 Aug 2002, Bob Tanner wrote: > > > SF is sellouts. > > So you haven't seen the big Visual Studio .NET ads on Slashdot either? > > MS marketing must have some enormous benefit over other ads. > For instance, 3 months after I signed up for 2 years of Linux > Magazine, I suddenly get a 2 page ad in every issue for > Microsoft's hosting services.
