@ OpenSource Workshop, NITW

Mr. SK from Yahoo R&D, Bangalore the die hard supporter of Open Source and an invited Speaker for the OpenSource WorkShop held at NIT Warangal, organized by IEEE (the NITW branch) March, 2007.

(on why you should go for Open source rather than Microsoft) :
"If the guy(or guys) who design a product for the Open Source dies, the world won't lose anything, because the source code would be available to the public along with a thorough documentation
BUT
If the guy(or guys) who design a product for Microsoft dies, the world will lose it and the people who use it would be at loss, because it is not Open!"
So... people working at Microsoft, it's unethical and immoral for you to die (if you have designed a product)

(
on How to make money if you are a votary of Open Source ) :
( Basically Mr. SK got confused or/and was left with no answers by the time this question was asked )
"Working on Open Source would give you a lot of experience, good coding skills, ability to design a good product, fix horrible bugs..... and this would enable you to join a good company(like Microsoft :P ?) "

Note : No disclaimers :D
