We have already seen other brain leaks go to companies like Apple or Microsoft. But the people who work on open source are very talented and companies want people like that, it goes without saying. We have an example in Miguel de Icaza, the founder of GNOME, who claimed to use Mac OS X and who finally seems to have wanted to approach Microsoft, being branded by Richard Stallman as a traitor ...
From LxA we do not criticize these movements, we simply inform, since each one is free to do what he wants with his life. But this time we have another of these news that affects in this case Wim Coekaerts, signed by Microsoft, perhaps because of that approach of the Windows company to approach open source software and the latest movements regarding Linux that they have made since the arrival of the new CEO of the windows company.
For those who do not know, Wim Coekaerts is, or rather was, head of the Oracle Linux project and also related to the company's virtualization engineering, since now it will be part of Microsoft. The Mr Linux, As they call Wim, among other achievements for the community, he is recognized for having changed the philosophy of Oracle, making them go from programming only for Windows to also open for Linux, having VirtualBox for Linux and creating their own Oracle Linux distro based on RHEL.
Now he has joined the Redmond as corporate vice president of open-source at the Enterprise Cloud group. Will we see any changes like the one he promoted in Oracle but this time within Microsoft? It would be interesting to see if it pushes from within for Microsoft to move a little closer to Linux. Even some media have rumored with the possible creation of a Microsoft Linux distribution for the cloud and that is why its signing ...
It is clear that we all have a price, and ideals and ideas in the end are sold for money, that simple.
I can think of two sayings to explain Microsoft's latest moves: if you can't beat the enemy, join him (funny when those in the window have more than 90% of the desktop quota, but let's not forget that in the lucrative business of the servers and all those things is Linux the one that is made with 98% of the market), and the second saying: divide and conquer. I think that is what is happening lately with Microsoft and its much vaunted "approach" to open software. All cheating. Greetings to all.
For Microsotf the saying would change: If you can't with the enemy, buy it.
Well, I have another saying: An enemy that flees silver bridge. Java and OpenOffice will save an emotional in its agony. Amen.
I edit. Emotional silence, I wanted to say. It's is that news like this excites me, damn it. XD
