“For a long time we were held up as being anti-open source. But the idea of Shared Source came about because of customers telling us: “I am able to do some things in open source because I have access to the source code, and I would like to be able to do the same thing with your code.”
The fact is that Linux is now competing with Windows. That is good because it is spurring us on and making us compete better, but equally, it is difficult for us to say Windows has better management tools than Linux because all of a sudden people say we are attacking open source.”
