[W/K] :: Halloween Documents

  Halloween Documents n. A pair of Microsoft internal strategy memoranda
     leaked to ESR in late 1998 that confirmed everybody's paranoia about the
     current Evil Empire. These documents
     (http://www.opensource.org/halloween/) praised the technical excellence
     of Linux and outlined a counterstrategy of attempting to lock in
     customers by "de-commoditizing" Internet protocols and services. They
     were extensively cited on the Internet and in the press and proved so
     embarrassing that Microsoft PR barely said a word in public for six
     months afterwards.
