For the record I am a registered Microsoft partner and deal with a lot of open source stuff as well. I am not a technology religious nut. I will use whatever gets the job done for my clients. This sort of legal action is not going to help anyone. I will be watching how it plays out with interest. Thanks again for your thoughts. Nigel Thanks for your comments Steve.

The original cartoon was all about Microsoft telling it's story better than they do. The Blue Monster series certainly touched on open source but more with regards to the ability for Microsoft Partners to build a business on open source vs. commercial software. It got turned in to Open Source vs. Commercial in a competitive manner which I hadn't foreseen. Whatever happens, I'll continue with the Blue Monster as a symbol of the change I want to see in Microsoft. i honestly hope this doesn’t affect what we’re trying to do with the Blue Monster.
