The code I am developing for ARM7
devices includes open source routines, not to mention that the compiler is GNU license code.

Too many of the posters in this forum have blinders on regarding software and computing. They all think that the corporate desktop is the ONLY computing platform and that MS is the king of this world (rightly so or not). They can't comprehend the diversity of smart devices that they encounter everyday that are using a lot of open source code and algorithms. This includes every printer, fax, scanner, copier, MP3 player, PDA and cell phone. Not to mention newer TVs, DVD players, audio equipment etc.

So these guys will question any statement that contradicts their firm belief that the only meaningful software involves PCs and must be written by MS.
