Star Microsoft Director Out to 'Debunk Mythology Around Open Source'

Microsoft "The Free Software movement is dead. Linux doesn't exist in 2007. Even Linus has got a job today." Controversial statements from the head of Microsoft's Linux Labs, Bill Hilf. Speaking on the last leg of a tour of Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand, Bill Hilf, more formally known as Microsoft's platform strategy director, was in the region to 'be descriptive and intelligent in giving people an understanding of open source and debunk a lot of the mythology around open source'.

Flashback to another comment of mine in April:

I am starting to think that there is a connection between Baghdad Bob (Iraqi Disinformation Officer) and Microsoft Bob. I think that MS Bob may be a real person that works within the MS Public Relations Dept. His only job is to spread overly optimistic news about MS and anti-alternate OS information to the media. "Vista is the greatest Operating System ever made. I keep hearing people talk about this 'Linux' thing, but I just want to assure you that it does not exist, and if it does, it certainly isn't usable."
