Xa isiza kuvulwa umthombo nentsebenziswano yoku, kunokwenzeka uninzi lunokufika kwiinkampani ezinjengeIntel, Red Hat okanye mhlawumbi uGoogle, kodwa kuya kuba yinto engaqhelekanga ukucinga ngeMicrosoft.
Kwaye ukuba nangona abanye babafundi bethu kusenokuvakala kungenangqondo ukudibanisa iMicrosoft kunye nomhlaba ovulekileyo, oku kuyinyani kwaye iminyaka eliqela ngoku iMicrosoft ikwangomnye wabanikeli ababalulekileyo.
Kodwa ukucinga ukuba iMicrosoft lelona galelo livulekileyo lomthombo zehlabathi, kunokuvakala kungenangqondo.
Kodwa asilunganga okanye ubuncinci, njengoko kulinganiswa ngenani labasebenzi abafaka isandla ngokubonakalayo kwiiprojekthi zemithombo evulekile kwiGitHub ithi ngenye indlela.
Ngokwenene IMicrosoft inamagalelo aphindwe kabini njengegalelo lesibini ngobukhulu, uGoogle.
Nangona kunjalo, kuvavanyo lwamva nje lwedijithali lokufumanisa ukuba uGoogle, iMicrosoft ayiphindaphindanga njengomthombo ovulekileyo.
UGoogle ligalelo elikhulu kwimithombo evulekileyo kwaye ibiyiminyaka.
Ukusuka kuhlobo lweKhowudi eGoogle ukuya kwigalelo lakhe kwi-MySQL kunye neeprojekthi ezininzi, ezinikelwe yiGoogle.
Kutshanje, unyuse ukuthatha kwakhe inxaxheba nangakumbi ngemirhumo kwiprojekthi yeKubernetes kunye neTensonFlow, nganye kuzo ihambisa ixabiso elikhulu kuluhlu olubanzi lwabaphuhlisi.
Into ebangela umdla nangakumbi kukuba uGoogle wazilawula ezi projekthi ngendlela yokuba zibe yimizamo yokwenyani yoluntu.
Akumangalisi ukuba i-53% yabaphuhlisi abangaphezulu kwe-4300 baphononongi bakholelwa ukuba uGoogle "wamkela umthombo ovulekileyo ngakumbi."
IMicrosoft, kwicala layo, ifumene ngaphantsi kwehafu yeevoti, nge23%. I-Facebook ine-10% kunye neAmazon 4%, kwaye ekugqibeleni iApple 1%.
Iimbono ezindala ziyafa
Nangona kunjalo, iMicrosoft inegalelo kumthombo ovulekileyo.
Kungalula ukucinga ukuba abaphuhlisi abazi nje malunga neeprojekthi zikaMicrosoft ezivulekileyo, kodwa njengoko uBrian Rinaldi watsho, ipesenti enkulu yabaphuhlisi bahlala kwikhowudi yeMicrosoft Visual Studio.
Ewe, abanye bacebisa ukuba uthando lukaMicrosoft olutsha ngomthombo ovulekileyo kukuzenzela. Injineli uJeff Schroeder, umzekelo, uqaphele:
Microsoft inabaphuhlisi abanemveliso abafaka igalelo kulwazi lwabo kuphuhliso oluqhubekayo kwiLinux Kernel.
Kodwa ikakhulu ligalelo lakhe elimiselwe kuphela iHyper-V, eyenza iLinux ijikeleze kakuhle kwiAzure.
Uninzi lwegalelo labo livela eAmazon, eligqiba ukuba lingakhi mdla mninzi njengeTensorFlow okanye iKubernetes.
Oku kunokuba yinyani nangona wonke umntu enegalelo kwikhowudi yakho yemithombo evulekileyo yomntu unjengokuzingca.
Kwicandelo layo uGoogle akaniki iiKubernetes njengesipho esilula, njengoko kukho injongo yeqhinga layo.
Umbono ushiya iMicrosoft lutshaba lwazo zonke izinto ezivulekileyo, utshilo uSteven Vaughan-Nichols.
Kusemthethweni ukuyicaphukela iMicrosoft.
Phantse ibheji yembeko. Ndabhala impendulo kuQuora malunga nempumelelo yeLinux ngezizathu zeshishini kwaye izisa amagqabaza anomsindo. "UMathew Lodge uphawule.
Ngaphandle kweminyaka yokuziphatha kakuhle, ngamanye amagama, abaphuhlisi babambelela kuhlobo lwakudala lweMicrosoft.
Ngokuqinisekileyo oku kuyakuphucuka ngokuhamba kwexesha, kodwa okwangoku, iMicrosoft kuya kufuneka isebenze kabini nzima ukufumana igama layo kunye nabaphuhlisi.
Iindaba ezimnandi zezokuba inkampani ibonakala izinikezele ngokupheleleyo ekwenzeni oko okoko ithatha.
Ubheja ikamva lakho njengenkampani yeqonga ukuze uguqule ezo mbono zabaphuhlisi.
Kwaye ayothusi into yokuba ubuncinci ukuza kuthi ga ngoku kulo nyaka iMicrosoft yenze ukubheja okukhulu ngokuguqula iinjongo zayo ekuboneni iLinux kunye nophuhliso lwayo njengotshaba ukuze ibengcono njengehlakani.
Ewe, njengokuba ugxa wakhe epapashe kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, iMicrosoft, ejongene nolu bhejo, yenze uluhlu lwemithombo evulekileyo emva kokujoyina i-Open Source Initiative kunye neLinux Foundation.
