Jon Udell gets down and dirty with Bill Gates in a highly technical podcast. Microsoft is trying hard to reach out to developers and block the great value and very attractive java development environments and open source. Gates mentions an internal product currently called wpfe will be a "flash killer".
My question for developers (which wasn't asked) is that by using Microsoft development tools are we limiting our company's potential growth? As a small software company in a microsoft dominated world can we get big or will Microsoft end up being a competitor?
Interesting times for Microsoft as it goes through a mid life crisis.
