What if Microsoft decides to go Open Source? | |

People often speculate about Microsoft's bringing out a Linux version of Office, but everyone assumes that they would never try to Open Source their products -- after all, Microsoft is the acme of proprietary software. But they have begun to twirl the seven veils lately. While Microsoft's critics denounce Shared Source as a sham, at least it's a move away from binary-only, and although its rule is "look, don't touch" and limited to a privileged few, Shared Source is a concession to the power of Open Source in the current software industry. | ||
