[News] Integration Advantage for Free Software

Worry About Integration, Not Installation

,----[ Quote ]
| Proprietary software is designed to help a company make as much money as 
| possible, which almost inevitably means hiding information that would make it 
| easier to integrate or cooperate with competitors.

BitRock: Application Installation in a Networked World

,----[ Quote ]
| As an aside, when I say cross-platform, I don’t mean Adobe AIR-style “sure 
| we’re cross-platform - you know, Mac and Windows,” but rather truly 
| cross-platform. Both dominant commercial distributions, Solaris and Linux. 
| Even better, the Linux support is not limited to the dominant commercial 
| distributions, in Red Hat and SuSE, but is inclusive of Debian, Ubuntu and 
| other commercial and non-commercial variants.

Scary news for Microsoft in HP's earnings call

,----[ Quote ]
| HP never saw a "Vista moment at any time over the past year" declared HP CEO 
| Mark Hurd in yesterday's earnings call. 
| 
| [...]
| 
| Think about that. These are markets that don't need Vista, that have no 
| institutional memory of Windows (over the Mac or Linux). These are markets 
| that are wide open for real competition (and real innovation).  
| 
| Again, this is great news for every person on the planet...except Microsoft 
| shareholders.

Consultant hopes open source apps will "snap together" someday

,----[ Quote ]
| Bachana recommends starting your company's open source journey at the Web 
| level. "There's plenty of resources out there where you can get information 
| on the different platforms available. Implement Web servers first. Hire a 
| couple of really great developers that know the LAMP environment and task 
| them with getting a roadmap for the back office using open source. If you 
| start that way, you could map all your needs to readily available open source 
| solutions out there. But it starts with getting at least one person who is a 
| technologist that could support them in the back office."
