Microsoft interoperability team: Bring on Red Hat | |
|
||
| Time: 00:10 EST/05:10 GMT | News Source: ComputerWorld | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

Leaders of Microsoft Corp.'s strategy to make its products more interoperable with competitive technologies said the company still hopes to strike a Linux pact with Red Hat Inc. similar to the partnerships it's forged with Linux vendors Novell, Xandros and Linspire. "We'd love to do the same deal with Red Hat," said Tom Robertson, general manager of corporate interoperability and standards at Microsoft in an interview Friday. "We're always open to talking with them." That sentiment so far has not been the same on Red Hat's end, as the company has said it's not interested in a deal. Red Hat spokeswoman Leigh Day said Friday that is still the case. "We continue to believe that open source and the innovation it represents should not be subject to an unsubstantiated tax that lacks transparency," she said in an e-mail. | ||

ha. i think redhat prefers a market thrashing, followed by dwindling stock price, followed by lawsuits from Microsoft and angry shareholders, followed by being bought by a private equity group.
anyone still watching RHT's stock? http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=RHT&t=my&l=off&z=m&q=l&c= Makes you long for the even-slightly-upward trend of MSFT. This post was edited by mooresa56 on Tuesday, June 19, 2007 at 17:46. |

RedHat, Ubuntu and Mandriva all told Microsoft to get stuffed.
"Allegations of 'infringement of unspecified patents' carry no weight whatsoever". "We continue to believe that open source and the innovation it represents should not be subject to an unsubstantiated tax that lacks transparency." Quite amazing really - all three companies decided to stand up for their own principles and the right thing to do rather than get an easy few million from Microsoft. Meanwhile Microsoft is pleading customers to adopt Vista: http://apcmag.com/6458/dont_wait_for_vista_sp1_pleads_microsoft |

lol. yeah and those three companies declined individually, right? no way.
Face it bud, Microsoft signing up 3 vendors (assuming it stops there) is a MAJOR success for them. |
