I'm looking at http://www.vinod.com/ and not finding it updated recently,
but according to

   http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:www.softwareview.com/archiv16.htm

 he has recently left Microsoft...

I'd prefer to finish by thanking the principal authors, Vinod
Valloppillil and Josh Cohen, for authoring such remarkable and effective
testimonials to the excellence of Linux and open-source software in
general. I suspect that historians may someday regard the Halloween
memoranda as your finest hour, and the Internet community certainly owes
you a vote of thanks.
