In the last week of October 1998, a confidential Microsoft memorandum on Redmond's strategy against Linux and Open Source software was leaked to me by a source who shall remain nameless. I annotated this memorandum with explanation and commentary over Halloween Weekend and released it to the national press. Microsoft was forced to acknowledge its authenticity. The press rightly treated it as a major story and covered it (with varying degrees of cluefulness).

Now the 8th leaked memo from Microsoft has been released, I thought I'd share it with y'all..

This is an unusual Halloween memorandum in that it's not particularly redolent of evil. It's a reactionary memo about trying to become less reactionary, the sort of thing that gets churned out daily by clueless corporate droids everywhere. They're tired of constantly being caught by surprise and want to do something about it.
