And South Africans Are Going to Contribute To Windows?
Recently, Jason Matusow, a Microsoft employee, made the comment that “Deep dev of the core OS is not likely to happen in South Africa today on any large scale. Students at the university still grappling with coding skills are not going to dive into the inner-working of Linux.” Of course, as has already been pointed out, the statement holds no credibility due to South Africa being the birth place of someone named Mark Shuttleworth who happens to be the founder of Ubuntu.
If that is not, however, reason enough for you to discount Jason’s statements, consider this: a person from a company who is located primarily in the US and has basically all of their top management in the US is saying that South Africans will never be able to get involved with Linux, an open-source effort which has developers, leaders, art people, marketers, etc, etc everywhere in the world.
Microsoft, making fun of you is getting too easy.
