Whats next? Dogs and cats marrying each other?
It almost sounds like a joke headline, but there it is: a top Microsoft executive saying complimentary things about open source.
Its not really all that different from what Microsoft has said before, but what makes it interesting is whos saying it. Bob Muglia, senior VP of Microsofts server and tools business, is a big wheel in Redmond.
Its one thing for Bill Hilf, Microsofts Linux and open-source guy, to say nice things about open source. Part of his job is being ambassador to strange, foreign, open-source lands. Its another when Muglia says the same kind of things.
Or, is it?
