schestowitz__"Well, it does seem to be taking .NET on the server side open source, and further, committing to making the stuff work on Linux. It's an interesting move--arguably a desperation move. The problem is that no matter what MS does, Linux is a very major server platform and only becoming more dominant. Ergo, .NET arguably can't survive if it doesn't run on Linux, and adoption on Linux of something not open source and coming from MicrosoftMar 18 14:44
schestowitz__is likely to be slim. The way I see this is that out of necessity they are trying to enlist Linux on the server in the project of keeping out Linux on the desktop. In order to maintain the importance of their proprietary framework on the desktop, thus helping exclude other desktop options such as Linux which cannot use it, they need it to be served, and since Linux is such a big server platform they need it to be served on Linux. ThusMar 18 14:44
schestowitz__server Linux serving .NET will help exclude desktop Linux unable to use .NET. I'm not convinced it will work, though. Not because Free Software believers will rise up and refuse to accept this Trojan horse, just because I don't think there's as much interest in .NET as there used to be."Mar 18 14:44

schestowitz__"Well that was nice. A complete and utter rant dressed up as an article. I've seldom seen a more complete piece of sh*t in writing. Of course it would be too much to ask from the authors to give us a sober account of what the substance behind Microsoft's claim to have OpenSourced stuff is. They were having too much fun ranting. Mind you, I'm as sceptical of a company whose business model boils down to selling licenses to closed-sourceMar 18 14:40
schestowitz__software claiming to Opensource anything whatsoever. To speak with Carl Sagan: "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence". And parsing press releases isn't the way to find out. So I'm waiting for an article on that, starting with: what did Microsoft actually OpenSource? Where is the code and what does the license look like? One thing is sure, I didn't find it here. Perhaps in a few weeks. Until then ... wake me up whenMar 18 14:40

schestowitz__misuse of links have the hallmarks of a charlatan. He links Jim Zemlin in arguing a point that the only reason MS has opened sourced the components is to attract developers. When you read The link pointing to Jim, Jim welcomes Microsoft's relicencing - the language of Jim's article does not jive with Dr. Roy's stance at all.

schestowitz__"Well, it does seem to be taking .NET on the server side open source, and further, committing to making the stuff work on Linux. It's an interesting move--arguably a desperation move. The problem is that no matter what MS does, Linux is a very major server platform and only becoming more dominant. Ergo, .NET arguably can't survive if it doesn't run on Linux, and adoption on Linux of something not open source and coming from MicrosoftMar 18 14:42
schestowitz__is likely to be slim. The way I see this is that out of necessity they are trying to enlist Linux on the server in the project of keeping out Linux on the desktop. In order to maintain the importance of their proprietary framework on the desktop, thus helping exclude other desktop options such as Linux which cannot use it, they need it to be served, and since Linux is such a big server platform they need it to be served on Linux. ThusMar 18 14:42
schestowitz__server Linux serving .NET will help exclude desktop Linux unable to use .NET. I'm not convinced it will work, though. Not because Free Software believers will rise up and refuse to accept this Trojan horse, just because I don't think there's as much interest in .NET as there used to be."Mar 18 14:42
