Just read your draft review of my book. You're certainly right that I'm opinionated. I have, however, thought about open source software, and I believe that I discuss it in the book; I am pretty sure that I discuss Linux at least briefly.(posted 8751 days ago)For various reasons, I doubt that open source software will/would sufficiently discipline Microsoft in the absence of other antitrust remediation; the open source AOL/Netscape browser certainly hasn't. I'd be happy to talk with you about that, or anything else.
Many thanks, though, for taking the time to think about the book carefully. I would welcome a chance to chat; I live half time in Berkeley.
