Halloween Documents n.
A pair of Microsoft internal
strategy memoranda leaked to ESR in late 1998 that confirmed
everybody's paranoia about the current Evil Empire.
These documents
praised the technical excellence of Linux and outlined a
counterstrategy of attempting to lock in customers by
"de-commoditizing" Internet protocols and services. They were
extensively cited on the Internet and in the press and proved so
embarrassing that Microsoft PR barely said a word in public for
six months afterwards.
