Commentary from eWEEK’s Jeff Moad: “Microsoft has been gifted with a rare opportunity to show that it’s learned
something from its long antitrust battle. I’m not talking about the breakup reprieve issued recently
by the U.S. Court of Appeals. I’m talking about last week’s news that two key players in the
open-source software movement–the Free Software Foundation and Ximian Inc.–plan to
develop Windows-compatible .Net development tools for open-source platforms including Linux.”
