[Gloucs] Amusing request from Microsoft!

[bjh]

Hi Guys,

Just received this amusing request from Michael Surkan, a programmer 
working for MICROSOFT!
Apart from the obvious response of, block the security holes, make it 
FREE to all, and have Microsoft really run out of ideas as to what the 
customers are really looking for??

Anyone want to communicate with him - if you do want to send a direct 
response, his email address is at the bottom.

Linux and other FREE source programme and browser applications must be 
now starting to worry the marble palace dwellers over the water!

Best wishes
Barrie Haycock

I am a program manager in the Microsoft networking group, doing some 
research around how we can improve our operating systems. My goal is to 
help us identify capabilities, improvements, and features that Microsoft 
should be focusing on to help our customers over the next 5 years or so. 
I am particularly interested in hearing from Linux users, and get their 
input about what they feel should be priorities.

I was wondering if you would mind if I posted a message on your Linux 
mailing list (gloucs at mailman.lug.org.uk 
<mailto:gloucs at mailman.lug.org.uk>) asking for feedback? I want to ask 
for people to e-mail me directly if they would be interested in taking 
an on-line survey I have put together (sorry, I don't want to post the 
survey URL directly to the public).

If you don't feel this is an appropriate use of your list, that's fine. 
Of course, I am always eager to hear your thoughts if you wanted to 
share them. :-)

Thanks,

Michael Surkan
