Microsoft Exec Says 'Open' Means 'Incompetent'
Found on Techdirt on Wednesday, 15 September 2010
What's really ridiculous here is that the Microsoft exec in question, Hernan Rincon, president of Microsoft Latin America, seems to be making even more specious arguments than usual, claiming that "open" really is a way of saying "incompetent".
Open generally is the opposite of "masking" anything.
Microsoft itself supports open source (to a certain degree at least) and also has released source code. So, using Rincon's argument, he effectively calls Microsoft, his employer, incompetent. Now that's something I can live with.
