MS-Watch | at | by Mike
Microsoft is working on new initiatives that it plans to launch over the next few months that will help Windows to compete on a more level playing field with open source. So said Martin Taylor, Microsoft's general manager for platform strategy -- and the company's main point man on Linux -- during a Web cast for financial analysts, shareholders and other interested parties on Friday morning.
Taylor, who is the champion behind Microsoft's "Get the Facts" anti-Linux campaign, presented Microsoft's view of the competitive landscape on the desktop and server. He also answered call-in questions from analysts during his roughly hour-long presentation.
