“But here?s the twist: The Hyper-V for OpenStack setback
actually apparently involves Citix Systems, according to The
Register. As you may recall, Citrix acquired Cloud.com ? the
company that was integrating Hyper-V with OpenStack. But Citrix
apparently shifted Cloud.com?s focus from the Hyper-V for OpenStack
effort to a OpenStack-Citrix cloud initiative.

“I don?t blame Citrix for Microsoft?s OpenStack setback, which
appears to be temporary in nature. If Microsoft is serious about
supporting OpenStack, then Microsoft?s own developers ? rather than
Citrix and Cloud.com developers ? should be responsible for the
effort.”
