Microsoft chairman Bill Gates voiced his concerns over the growing
goodwill towards open source, especially in Asia, [1]emphasizing how
damaging open source software can be. 'If you don’t want to create jobs
or intellectual property, then there is a tendency to develop open
source. It is not something you do as a day job. If you want to give it
away, you work on it at night,' he said. Gates, who apparently has never
[2]contended with the horrors of a VB upgrade, when on to say that '[Open
source] doesn’t guarantee upward compatibility.'"
