d2r: same old microsoft

same old microsoft

Microsoft has said that it will make it easier for rivals to design software to connect with its Windows operating system. However, the company is also about to launch another server operating system that will be bundled and integrated with lots of other Microsoft products: exactly the sort of behaviour that got it into trouble in the first place.

Bad article... as far as I'm aware there is nothing new in terms of what is included with the various 2K3 server packages.

Very questionable stats about level of server o/s shipments as I'll bet there are a /lot/ of unix type boxes out there for which ther o/s was not purchased.

As I've said before (and will say again) this is not to say that MS are going to behave themselves - but the products that are listed have to be paid (except in the case of small business server) for and that contradicts the initial assertion.

Bad, bad piece of analysis.
