“Microsoft is stepping up its effort to stay on top of
Linux, another indication the software giant takes the competing
operating system seriously.“
“The Redmond, Washington, company has been evaluating Linux for
months–an ordinary process when a new technology emerges–and is
now hiring three more employees for the effort, according to the
company’s Web site….”
“Two of the jobs are for people who will “execute Microsoft’s
Linux strategy,” which will be analyzing Linux, coordinating work
at the company and educating the Microsoft sales force about the
operating system.”
