The question is, “How do you get your Christmas tree?” and the response categories are (from top to bottom, with percentages as of 2:31pm PST): “Buy” (35.7%), “Cut with permission” (13.2%), “Cut without permission” (14.3%), “Steal from some other source” (6.1%), “Get from some other source” (4.1%) and “Don’t have a tree” (26.7%).

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
