We work on computers for the love of technology and to better the world and perhaps even save the world from idiots like them. All in all, our work saves lives, their work takes lives.

Not what is is, or why it works, much less how it works. They only understand "the company", and not the community. In OpenSource the authors, the product, the users and those who make their living from the resulting revenue stream are "the company." The whole idea of allowing all that revenue to be distributed to others outside of their company is totally foreign, and they simply can't fathom a community working that way. They are driven by wealth, not technology. No one at Microsoft does, or ever will understand anything about OpenSource. Not what is is, or why it works, much less how it works.

It appears that survey had been done only to promote so called open source code. Where is the survey report. The survey is not justified.

Naturally they would choose open source software, and the savings on licence fees would help to pay for their extra salary! :)) This is probably because they were already the most intelligent and best qualified workers in the first place.
