Microsoft and the Open-Source Community: Feel the Love

For several years now, there has been some rancor between die-hard Microsoft Windows advocates and proponents of Linux and other open-source tools and solutions. However, several enterprises that hold fealty to neither the former nor the latter, but rather to their own bottom line, have begun to implement both operating systems (plus UNIX, in some cases) where they are most effective. Apparently, leaders from both factions have noticed where their customers’ loyalties lie and, consequently, initiated a veritable interoperability love fest.
