Windows and Linux working together

microsoft linux windows penguin 255x300 Windows e Linux lavorano insieme

Open Source project distributed by
Microsoft
sene are popular, but seeing the same project alongside Windows Server 2008 and Linux kernel makes a decidedly effect. Microsoft two days ago, at the opening of the exhibition better known to the world

of open
source in California, decided to announce

release to community development that revolves around Linux for about 20,000 lines of code, all released under GPLv2 license.

S

erviranno, the intent of Microsoft to ensure full compatibility and interactivity of Linux with virtualization technologies of Windows Server.


To be issued at the moment are
few projects,

including
drivers and applications,
in this way, according to press releases and announcements issued, it becomes possible to ensure

the
efficiency
and effectiveness of any
transfer of the servers in a Linux environment virtual operating on Windows 2008, allowing easier management through software management tools from Microsoft.

Microsoft's offer came a few months ago, and has seen the
involvement of community leadership development kernel Penguin, u
na unusual decision for the tradition of Redmond, a historic view

the
strategic importance to the code released under a license so popular as GPLv2.

The choice of GPLv2 is not a case, because to work with certain companies, the rules for publication of the projects are very precise rules that from today onwards Microsoft intends to do, even
while maintaining and continuing to develop these drivers,
in collaboration with Other important actors on the scene as has happened up to now.

Microsoft by a large economic weight and publicity to this type of development, and intends to increase the spread
within the company
itself, which does not mean to go on the market only with GPL, Microsoft remains
a company
that develops software and at the moment
prefer to invest on the development of new services,
for these projects in fact, prefer to associate themselves with other companies
specializing,
for example, the development of applications released

so far
has not been carried out solely by Microsoft, but with the help of Novell,
a
company specializes in developing applications for the Linux kernel. In this way, Microsoft has made it clear
what role it occupies in the world market,
making people understand that not everything that happens in the world of technology is a direct result of his choices, but often also for

the
interest of others.

In short, bad news, to you the feedback.
