“Hugging it Out” with Open Source…
Congratulations Microsoft.
Responding to your community? Embracing an open source model in a
non-trivial way? These are big, admirable steps I thought I would never
personally witness. It always makes my day to see another industry
leader make business decisions based on the same market premises I
believe. Customers want choice and flexibility. For those of us in the
industry that haven’t learned the lesson by now, the key enabler has
become community developed standards. By working together, we only make
each other stronger.
