Several prominent researchers are conducting a survey and looking for  
500 respondents by Friday on the topic of enterprise architecture and  
software development. Here is the link to the survey:  
[http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=845572436515](http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=845572436515)

After completing the survey, results are displayed immediately. A small  
donation will be made to a charitable organization after its  
completion.

This survey is bias towards Open Source and against Windows.

Hmmm, I can’t see the bias. Of course when I try to access the web  
site all I can see is an error page with:

HTTP 500.100 - Internal Server Error - ASP error  
Internet Information Services

Or is that evidence of a anti-MS bias?

Why?

I can see the pro-OS, but against Windows? The only weirdery I can see  
is missing Visual Studio from the IDE question, and C# from the language  
question…

My question: who are these prominent researchers?
