Now fellow Norwegian company Pandia has the inside scoop on how some FAST staffers took the news--as, it seems that a sizable number of them hate Microsoft. According to Bjorn Olstad, FAST's director of technology, there are quite a few developers that "have a negative religious relationship to Microsoft."
Olstad went on to say that while most FAST employees were "positive toward the transaction," there was a chance that competitors would use the news as an opportunity to lure the dissenting developers away.
