THERE'S A BIG puff piece about Microsoft in the Observer today in the form of an interview with its €uroboss Jean-Philippe Courtois.
But in spite of the fact that last week Microsoft lost a big deal to open source in big German city Munich, Courtois seems insouciant to any threat Linux may pose to its core business.
Well sort of insouciant, anyway, as he's quoted as saying there's "a measure of ambiguity to the argument revolving around open source and open standards".
To demonstrate just how ambiguous this is, Courtois says in the next paragraph that it's been working with the industry "to develop and support the next generation of open standards".
