Microsoft not really following open-source model--IBM exec
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft has been wanting to get cozy lately with open source developers but
| a top IBM executive warns that the world's largest software maker is not
| ready to give up full control yet.
|
| Michael O'Rourke, Asia Pacific vice president for IBM Rational, believes that
| while Microsoft said it would open up APIs (application programming
| interfaces) of its core products such as Windows and Microsoft Office, the
| company isn't really "open sourcing" its software.
|
| [...]
|
| "Microsoft is not exactly telling developers that they own the platform," he
| said. Microsoft of late has been touting its conciliatory stance with the
| open-source community.

| This is typical trend riding fluff. If you go the Aras website you
| read about "Microsoft Enterprise Open Source Solutions", which is
| comical in and of itself.

A New Evangelist for Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| When I first heard about this? let's call it "rumor," I have to admit
| that I was rather shocked at the very prospect of Microsoft wanting
| to bring on an "open source" evangelist into their ranks.
