I do not doubt the sincerity and loyalty of the Lab's two penguins. I just can't imagine how they do it. As interesting as it was to finally get a peek into Microsoft's Linux Lab, the SEC filing was far more telling. Right from the start, PART I, ITEM 1. BUSINESS, GENERAL details their mission. It was very interesting for me to read that with the juxtaposition of my knowledge of their practices.kozmcraehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477116396443886503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33801994.post-38335128333091527482008-03-30T10:41:00.000-06:002008-03-30T10:41:00.000-06:00You don't need to unearth MS's SEC filing to know ...You don't need to unearth MS's SEC filing to know that they are very concerned about OSS and Linux.<BR/><BR/>Here is an article that describes the open-source lab that MS built to evaluate Linux, BSD as well as commercial Unix OSes such as IBM's AIX and Sun's Solaris.<BR/><BR/>http://port25.technet.com/archive/2008/03/20/inside-the-oss-lab.aspx<BR/><BR/>This article has been written by an MS employee, BTW. The admitted goal of the lab is to test for interoperability. I'm afraid that after those OSS guys have done their job, MS management brings back these results to development and tweaks the MS products until they breaks Unix/Linux interoperability. But this is just my jaded opinion.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05139643603082091704noreply@blogger.com
