Microsoft ‘not against’ open source

In the past months, if you subscribe the the local version of TechNet Flash, you would have heard from me numerous times about Microsoft working with Open Source. If you could recall BattleStations from Tyler Projects, their PHP gaming application on Facebook achieved significant performance improvements when running on Windows 2008 with FastCGI vs running on a Linux with Apache.

This time, i would like to share with you an article over at MIS-Asia. http://www.mis-asia.com/news/articles/microsoft-not-against-open-source

Reading deeper into the article, i was struck by surprise. I didn’t know Microsoft did so much for Open Source. To date, Microsoft employees and the developer communities have worked on some 6000 open source projects. Read about the article here.
