| Successful ISVs go out of their way to plan for interoperability, starting in
| version 1, with modular and standards-based architectures. Moreover, they go
| out of their way to form an ecosystem of complementary ISV partners, and then
| collaboratively build out and test the integrations. Of course, joining the
| OSA is a good way of doing this.

Next Gen, Mission-Critical Apps To Be Deployed on Linux Says Report
,----[ Quote ]
| By now it should be obvious to even the most casual industry observers
| that Linux operating systems - and open source-based software in general -
| have reached critical marketplace mass. Recent Linux deals and
| announcements by Oracle and Microsoft have only reinforced the "open
| source is enterprise-grade" message that IBM, Unisys and other "Master
| Brand" hardware, software and services vendors have been preaching for
| years. In short, open source, especially Linux, is becoming "legitimized"
| by the major vendors for enterprise environments, and user executives
| are more than happy to believe them.
