He worked there for 11 years, and then left after he found he was bored.[3] He then wrote and self-published After the Software Wars to explain the caliber of free and open source software and why he believes Linux is technically superior to any proprietary operating system.[4] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cio.com/article/493224/Ex_Microsoftie_Free_Software_Will_Kill_Redmond |title=Ex-Microsoftie: Free Software Will Kill Redmond |work=cio.com |date=21 May 2009|first=Shane|last=O'Neill|accessdate=26 May 2012}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.winsupersite.com/article/product-review/after-the-software-wars-an-interview-with-keith-curtis.aspx|work=winsupersite.com|title=After the Software Wars: An Interview with Keith Curtis|first=Paul|last=Thurrott|authorlink=Paul Thurrott|date=6 October 2010|accessdate=26 May 2012}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=A Microsoft Veteran Embraces Open Source|work=The New York Times|url=http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/12/01/a-microsoft-veteran-embraces-open-source/|first=John|last=Markoff|authorlink=John Markoff|date=1 December 2008|accessdate=26 May 2012}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.1sd.org/2009/01/16/book-review-after-the-software-wars/ |title=Book review: After The Software Wars|first=Francis |last=Jacquerye|date=16 January 2009 |work=One Shot Design Blog|accessdate=26 May 2012}} External links
