Halloween Document 8/**/ The Halloween Documents Introduction Where will Microsoft try to drag you today? Do you really want to go there? In the last week of October 1998, a confidential Microsoft memorandumon Redmond's strategy against Linux and Open Source software wasleaked to me by a source who shall remain nameless. I annotated thismemorandum with explanation and commentary over Halloween Weekend andreleased it to the national press. Microsoft was forced toacknowledge its authenticity. The press rightly treated it as a majorstory and covered it (with varying degrees of cluefulness).The now-infamous "Halloween Document" contained references to asecond memorandum specifically on Linux. Within days, copies of thesecond memo had been forwarded to me from two separate sources. Irenamed the first annotated version "Halloween I" and set aboutannotating the second. While not as dramatic or sinister in itsimplications as its predecessor, Halloween II includes a lot ofmaterial at variance with Microsoft's public party line on Linux.This page originally continued with an anti-Microsoft jeremiad. On reflection, however, I think I'dprefer to finish by thanking the principal authors, Vinod Valloppillil and Josh Cohen, for authoring suchremarkable and effective testimonials to the excellence of Linux andopen-source software in general. I suspect that historians maysomeday regard the Halloween memoranda as your finest hour, and theInternet community certainly owes you a vote of thanks.Over time, these memoranda have grown into quite a series. TheHalloween Documents I, II, III, VII, VIII and X are leaked Microsoftdocuments with annotations. IV is a satire based on an idioticlead-with-the-chin remark by the person who was at the timeMicrosoft's anti-Linux point person; V is serious comment on astatement by the same fool. VI is a takedown of one of thebought-and-paid-for "independent studies" Microsoft marketingleans on so heavily, IX refutes the Amended Complaint byMicrosoft's sock puppets at SCO, and XI is a field report from one of Microsoft's marketing road shows. The common theme is that theHalloween Documents reveal, from Microsoft's own words, thethings Microsoft doesn't want you to know.Eric S. Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com> Table of Contents Halloween I: Open Source Software–A (New?) Development Methodology Halloween II: Linux OS Competitive Analysis: The Next Java VM? Halloween III: Microsoft's reaction on the "Halloween Memorandum" (sic) Halloween IV: When Software Things Were Rotten: Vinod Vallopillil's boss calls us "Robin Hood and his merry band." We return the compliment. Halloween V: The FUD Begins!: The Sheriff of Nottingham rides again. In this exciting episode, the things he doesn't say are more interesting than the things he does. Halloween VI: The Fatal Anniversary: First Mindcraft, now the Gartner Group–Microsoft leaves a trail of shattered credibility behind it. Halloween VII: Survey Says!: Microsoft's own marketing research tells it that the FUD is backfiring. Halloween VIII: Doing the Damage-Control Dance: Microsoft tries to develop an emergency-response team to cope with Linux conversion announcements Halloween IX: It Ain't Necessarily SCO: A point-by-point rebuttal of the amended complaint. Halloween X: Follow The Money: In which we learn the extent of SCO's sock-puppet relationship to its master in Redmond. Halloween XI: Get The FUD: Microsoft's "Get The Facts" campaignis very revealing, including some revelations Microsoft wouldprobably prefer remained concealed. Before emailing or phoning me with a questionabout these documents, please read the Halloween Documents Frequently-AskedQuestions. Links to press coverage |
