Is Microsoft really that big? (Score 1)

Have you read an article called 'The Nature of Nerds' and its idea of F.I.N. - the Federation of Independent Nerds? http://www.managementlearning.com/art/cultnerd/ind ex.html Its last paragraph runs: "It may be interesting to reflect upon the open source argument. Microsoft argues for proprietary software. The nerds, in general, argue for open source. The argument has little to do with effectiveness and more to do with (business) ethics. Microsoft want to own the fruits of their investment. The nerds belong to an international fraternity. A prediction? Microsoft is a mammoth organisation but FIN (the fraternity of independent nerds) is bigger. If the thesis in this article is correct, the brightest nerds do not, and will not, work for Microsoft. We shall see!"
