As you might predict, IBM comes out against Microsoft's stance
on Open Source.
"IBM has called Microsoft's recent attacks on the open-source
business model "arrogance," blasting them as futile and
counterproductive...."
"Microsoft's comments have branded open source as anti-American
and destructive to intellectual property, but IBM, which has
recently become an outspoken proponent of open source, says
Microsoft is swimming against the tide."
"'Microsoft is trying to shore up its defenses as the tide is
coming in,' Adam Jollans, marketing manager for IBM Software for
Linux (news - web sites) in the European region. 'They're trying to
stop the tide, but the tide comes in whether you want it to or
not.'"
