Unintended Consequences
Two unintended consequences of Microsoft open sourcing:
1. Google Chrome (on Windows) uses the Windows Template Library (WTL) published under the Ms-PL
2. Mono outpaces Java for Linux desktop application adoption. An interesting quotation from the article:
“It is an interesting irony that Microsoft's sponsored technology, which is open source, is allowing developers to be more productive on Linux than other tools for Java and C++ development”
Irony, indeed.
