Microsoft and Open Source, the journey begins

So the rumblings have been going on for some time. And in September we delivered a license promise, (an almost license, think of it as a bill, but not a law), covering work related to WS-*. Today I visited the site and found that Virtual Hard Disk, VHD, had been added. Very very cool.

I ran across this quote from Tom Robertson,

"This is not an isolated activity--it's part of a broader, well-considered set of activities. This fits into our work on giving access to technology." "There is general agreement (within Microsoft) that the direction the company is taking today is absolutely the right direction. But the specific steps we'll take are a matter of discussion, and they're not always easy issues to tackle," he added."

Beyond cool!
