| “Open Source is great for many customers,” said Jeff Doyle, Product Manager
| of HP’s Exstream software brand. “However, sometimes proprietary languages
| are better suited for particular applications.”

| Doyle expects the exclusion of proprietary features to allow Open Source
| languages to be used freely and with greater flexibility.

RHEL just tripled the size of its ISV ecosystem!
,----[ Quote ]
| Through that series of announcements, Red Hat is lining up its complete RHEL
| strategy and making it clear that it can fit all deployment scenarios -
| traditional or emerging - through the exact same RHEL bits. That proves the
| flexibility of RHEL as a distribution and also factually multiplies the size
| of RHEL’s ecosystem by further enabling all existing RHEL’s ISV on two new
| emerging scenarios, Virtual Appliances and Cloud Computing. While that might
| seem like a trivial statement, it is far from the truth. Just look at VMWare
| for example: while they are getting great traction in the virtualization
| field, it is going to be very difficult for them to enter the two emerging
| fields discussed above, as they have a pretty much empty ISV ecosystem today.
| And you don’t build an ISV ecosystem overnight (you can partner with one or
| acquire one, but not build one overnight).
