Why Microsoft should open-source SQL Server and SharePoint | |
|
||
| Time: 12:20 EST/17:20 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
Stephen Walli, the former Microsoft exec turned open-source proponent, is at it again. This time, the former Softie is making a case for why Microsoft should consider open-sourcing some of its crown jewels, including SQL Server and SharePoint. And he's got a few reasons that might make even closed-source proponents reconsider their business-model philosophies. Walli isn't any ordinary Linux lover. He worked for Microsoft, following Redmond's acquisition of Softway Systems, a company that developed an environment that allowed the rehosting of Unix applications on top of Windows NT, and of which Walli was a founder. (Softway's Interix environment morphed, over time, into Microsoft's Services for Unix technology.) | ||

"Now Walli is chief technology officer and vice president of engineering at a new startup that he won't name. "
Embarrassed? Or is the "unnamed" company embarrased because they hired an idiot? |

| Either that, or he's hoping Microsoft will buy him out in another year or so.. |

"IBM did it. Sun is doing it."
Yes, but MS makes money on their products. |

| IBM did it? What the he.... Think again. IBM's crown jewls are WebSphere and Lotus and they are not open-source. They make loads of money with it and the liecences are usually much more expensive than Microsoft's. |

Yeah, that's going to happen . . .
Move along, nothing to see here . . . |

I think Walli skipped step 1, and went straight to step 2 (make your product open source).
Step 1, as we know from Java (just the latest example)... is to lose all hope of future market share gains, through a combination of missteps, incompetence, or not updating your product. |
