Interesting Slashdot post; loocsixela, loocsixela, loocsixela

So I just got around to catching up on my blogs since this has been a busy week for me with tours ranging in upwards of 200 people and softball season getting underway, it has been impossible to find any spare time for myself. I just discovered an interesting article on Slashdot which talks about a topic that I am highly interested in; Open Source Technology. The Slashdot article points out Microsoft's recent role and desire to become apart of the open source community. Their intentions are questionable, however, because it is a distinct possibility that Microsoft simply wants to take down the standard from the inside, a "keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer" standpoint. They were even referred to as being a "spider" looking to sneak in on its "prey," open source. Of course Microsoft denies such accusations, claiming their desire to make open source a uniform platform. Yeah right. I will have to go along with ZDNet, where the original article came from. Loocsixela is going strong, oh loocsixela.
So no matter what Microsoft's true intentions are, it is obvious that the world of open source is about to dramatically change now that they are entering the game.
