Here's a link to an ESR email discussing Balmer's interview:

http://lwn.net/daily/esr-big-lie.php3

"In the last three months, Jim Allchin and Craig Mundie and Steve Ballmer
have launched a classic Big Lie campaign against open source. They have described it as "un-American", "a destroyer", and "a cancer". They have deliberately confused the GPL with non-infectious open-source licenses,
and they have deliberately confused active combination of code with passive aggregation of data. They have lied, and lied, and lied again."
