The Halloween documents comprise a series of confidential Microsoft memoranda on potential strategies relating to free software, open-source software, and to Linux in particular, and a series of media responses to these memoranda. Both the leaked documents and the responses were published by open-source software advocate Eric S. Raymond in 1998. The documents are associated with Halloween because many of them were originally leaked close to October 31 in different years. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween_documents> Tuesday, 02 June 2026 @ 22:00:

When Balmer was just a small boy... and not very sweaty. Penny candy were $0.03 each. Only Cher looks exactly the same. Paul
