Microsoft offers much-needed fix for Windows OSS development | |
|

Although Microsoft is beginning to acknowledge that the rich ecosystem of open source software can bring a lot of value to Windows users, the most popular open source software projects are largely developed on other platforms, which means that they aren't always easy to deploy on Windows. A relatively complex open source server stack can be rolled out on Linux with a few clicks, but it might take hours to get the same software installed and properly configured on Windows. | ||

| This is really fortunate since there is a real lack of free software for Windows. |

| Whenever I've looked I've been able to find a free version of what I want. But like nearly all free software it's unstable or falls off a cliff when it comes to features. |

| It's taken MS years to shake off their Soviet-era mindset regarding OSS and join the rest of the world. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that all those years of alienating the FOSS community with their ridiculous FUDdy rhetoric would result in driving away FOSS development on their platform. Suddenly, 10 years later, MS has seen the light. |
