1. Does Microsoft and/or SCO have a investment in IDG? 2. Anyway to find out what percentage of IDG sales are from the Free/Open Source Community? 3. Is IDG pro or con the Free/Open Source Community? 4. Are the people in the Free/Open Source Community willing to get active (really do something not just talk)?
