Microsoft inches closer to Open Source
InternetNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft wants more open source software to run on Windows. Microsoft also wants its own Open Source Initiative approved license. Perhaps they really can get along.
On the software side, Microsoft today announced a partnership with open source solution vendor SpikeSource to eventually certify all of SpikeSource's SpikeIgnited solutions on the Microsoft Windows platform.
The move could make dozens of popular open source solutions available to Windows users in a fully supported manner. SpikeSource solutions include the gambit of content management, CRM and collaboration solutions. The first SpikeIgnited solution being made Windows-certified is the Drupal content management solution. Throughout the second half of 2007, SpikeSource plans on rolling out additional offerings.
