Microsoft in Open Source partnership
InternetNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft and JBoss announced a cooperation agreement on Tuesday in what is Microsoft's first official embrace of open source.
Under the agreement, the two companies will "explore" ways to enhance the interoperability between JEMS and Microsoft Windows Server products. Another goal is to enable JEMS to better support the Windows Server operating system.
Bill Hilf, director of platform technology strategy at Microsoft, told internetnews.com that, while the collaboration will be similar to those the company has done with other ISVs, this is the first time Microsoft has worked with a vendor of open source software.
