From the Virtual Pressroom: Microsoft Makes Strategic Changes in Technology and Business Practices to Expand Interoperability
February 21, 2008
Microsoft announced a set of broad-reaching changes to its technology and business practices to increase the openness of its products and drive greater interoperability, opportunity and choice. These changes are codified into four new interoperability principles and corresponding actions: 1) ensuring open connections; 2) promoting data portability; 3) enhancing support for industry standards; and 4) fostering more open engagement with customers and the industry, including open source communities.
Well Microsoft has to acknowledged the growing clout of the open source and is doing its bit for it .Open source is good but with so many to choose from it has become problem of plenty may be the elite one’s or little knowledgible one’s may use open software , but hate it or love it the majority still uses the MS software (please don’t ask me if they do the original ones !) coz MS has set a lasting impression on the computer community world wide . Open source must come up it something very concrete else it may be lost in the maze of open source itself .
