I guess when I say "what's the point?" I mean, what's the point of really wasting so much time and effort getting Ruby running on .NET in general? And I say that as primarily an MS developer. It's all just a plot to sell expensive licenses and thus will never have good community backing. Look what this guy went through. He's talented. It's a shame he didn't work for a company like Google who embraces OSS more genuinely.

Eh, Google embraces OSS when it doesn't affect their bottom line.

Which is not to say that Microsoft embraces it. Even internally their policies are almost downright hostile.

How so?

[Locke1689]

Sorry, can't say.

[WalterGR]

Okay, then. Since neither of us wants to violate our NDAs, I'll just say: you're wrong.

I think it depends (like most everything at MS) on your team. Although actually what I'm referring is to legal restrictions on software we can actually use in production.
