		<outline text="Getting ready for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.siliconvalley.com/roundtable/&quot;&gt;Silicon Valley Roundtable&lt;/a&gt; next week, after digesting the latest &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1003-200-6352301.html?tag=mn_hd&quot;&gt;news&lt;/a&gt; in Microsoft's war with open source, thinking about their roadmap. They want to pull developers into DotNet, take that as a given. They lost a lot of developers to Java and open source. Indisputable. Now they start a PR campaign against open source in the hopes of wooing some of the developers back? Hmmm. Serious developers like romance and money, not bluster and threats. Imagine if you were courting a woman and she already had a boyfriend. You can't win her heart by calling the other guy a virus, a cancer, or &lt;a href=&quot;http://users.erols.com/mowerman/pacfile.htm&quot;&gt;Pac Man&lt;/a&gt;. Hint: Try flowers and candy. Tell her she's irresistable. "/>

Those are HTML developers. Designers, writers, geeks who create apps that run in the browser. &lt;i&gt;Like Matt..&lt;/i&gt;"/>

I was here before the money came raining down from the sky and I know the passion will stay long after it's gone, but it's hard to stand out against the other recently laid-off applicants.&quot; (Matt's &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.haughey.com/resume.html&quot;&gt;resume&lt;/a&gt;.)"/>

There's already a lot of interop. Get out from behind the wall of RMI and integrate with apps written in other languages and environments. "/>
