| InfoWorld blogger (and IBM employee) Savio Rodrigues notes another example. 
| In a recent blog post, he looked at changes to JBoss since it was purchased 
| by Red Hat Software and concluded: "The Fedora/JBoss subscription is just 
| like the software subscription business model that commercial software 
| vendors have been using for decades."

Quote for the day:

"We do NOT want to ship the ’standard’ with Windows because we want to make the
native APIs more attractive. We want to evolve the standard APIs rapidly, and
not have ISVs [independent software vendors] spending time on something that
is cross-platform. "

                                --Chairman Bill Gates
