Subject: The Halloween Document

You've probably already spotted mention of this Microsoft memo on Slashdot,
but if you haven't, it's worth a read:

    http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/halloween.html

The body of the Halloween Document is an internal strategy memorandum on
Microsoft's possible responses to the Linux/Open Source phenomenon.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Microsoft has confirmed that this
memorandum is genuine. This fact will become public knowledge tomorrow
evening (3 Nov) at the latest.
