eWeek | at | by Mike
Hot on the heels of revelations that it is reaching out to the open-source community to find ways of interoperating with software licensed under the GPL, Microsoft announced on June 14 that it has formed an Interoperability Customer Executive Council.
The goal of the group is to identify areas for improved interoperability across not just Microsoft's products, but also the broader software industry.
Members will include CIOs and architects from both the corporate and government sectors, with Paris-based Société Générale, LexisNexis, Milwaukee-based Kohl's Illinois, the State of Delaware, Denmark's Ministry of Finance, and Spain's Generalitat de Catalunya and Centro Nacional de Inteligencia, in Madrid, already signing up as founding members.
