Open Solutions Alliance Looking for Momentum Boost
,----[ Quote ]
| Politics of a familiar sort has reared its head as well, according to
| Sartorio. While many companies want to integrate open-source elements with
| the Microsoft stack, that reality has clashed somewhat within the OSA's
| ranks, he said. "They say, 'Look, be careful what you do with Microsoft. ...
| I don't want to be part of an open-source movement that is working closely
| with Microsoft.'"
|
| "The challenge at Microsoft is the old guard is trying to keep Wall Street
| happy and their revenues flowing in a predictable way," he said, but the
| company is on the whole "not monolithic" in its thinking regarding open
| source.
|
| "There aren't any specific plans between OSA and Microsoft," he added. "It's
| a matter of ongoing dialogue."
