Drupal’s Creator Envisions Web Publishing’s Plug-and-Play Future

,----[ Quote ]
| Dries Buytaert started down his path to fame when he coded up a private 
| message board for his college dormitory. Nine years later, that modest 
| bulletin board software package has grown into Drupal, one of the most 
| popular open-source content publishing systems on the web with thousands of 
| active contributors. In March 2008, Buytaert connected with entrepreneur Jay  
| Batson, and together the two of them founded Acquia, a commercial venture 
| that will provide technical support for Drupal’s devotees as well as further 
| the adoption and development of the platform.

Feeling the heat at Microsoft

,----[ Quote ]
| A couple of years ago you reiterated that IBM was Microsoft's biggest 
| competitor and you said not just on the business side, but overall. If I ask 
| you who is Microsoft's biggest competitor now, who would it be?  
| 
| Ballmer: Open...Linux. I don't want to say open source. Linux, certainly have 
| to go with that.
