Balance Has Shifted In Favor Of Open Source

| Well, I am not allowed to take names, but we

| allows multiple virtual guests in the boxes,
| which is beneficial to the managed service

Red Hat makes the Qumranet SPICE protocol open source. A free alternative to ICA/PCoIP?
,----[ Quote ]
| Yesterday Red Hat used what was arguably the
| worst-titled press release ever to announce
| that they are open sourcing their SPICE
| remote display protocol. SPICE was developed
| by Qumranet a few years ago and made a huge
| splash at BriForum in 2008 when they demoed
| the software-based SPICE protocol on a
| client with multiple monitors running high-
| def video, audio, and games. (Here are
| videos of their sponsored breakout session
| from BriForum 2008 and DEMO Lab product demo
| from BriForum 2009.)
|
| [...]
|
| The bottom line is that I want to love SPICE
| and think that it's going to be everywhere.
| But I think the reality now is that everyone
| who needs a remoting protocol has one. I'm
| guessing an open-source Xen-based SPICE is
| highly probable, along with SPICE getting
| better on KVM. But other than that, who
| knows?

Health check: Red Hat - This year's model
,----[ Quote ]
| Red Hat has long been the poster child of
| Linux and open source, the distribution
| that has been there since the beginning,
| grew up right, got all the luck, usually
| made the right decisions, and fetched up
| on top of the pile.
|
| Staying at the top of the pile may present
| a different set of problems. Free and open
| source software has made its presence
| felt, the operating system has become
| increasingly commoditised, free software
| is rising up the stack, cloud computing
| and virtualisation are transforming the
| market for operating systems, and open
| source (in some form or another) is being
| adopted or proclaimed by many different
| companies.
