Once agina Johnathna Schwartz is attempting to understand opensource and
explain SUNs' position in this
CNET article. However, he gets several things wrong, once again no suprise
there is there?
Okay lets re-educate Mr Schwartz. First and
foremost while claiming that OpenSource is no different Mr Schwartz claims
that Customers are demanding OpenSource becaus eof quality of the product.
That quality did not come from closed source develpoment methods Mr
Schwartz, so where did it come from, Microsoft? It is the difference in
OpenSource development process that produces higher quality code than your
SUN closed source methods Mr Scwartz! Even your Field Engineers agree
with me Mr Swartz.
Two, and this a big SUN goof, Mr Swartz claims
that they have a factual worry of Microsoft highjacking the java standard
if Java is opensourced by SUN. Question for you Mr Swartz, how many
opensource projects has Microsoft highjacked in the past 20 years? Give
up? Its zero! By Sun's own past contract and copyright lawsuits against
Microsoft back when MS was attempting to highjack the JVM implementation
and other issues SUN has proven that this will always not be the case and
that was during the zenith of Microsoft's PC-Desktop distribution power
which is now changing drastically!
Come on Mr Swartz, surely you
can offer better explanations and technical insight to Opensource and
OpenSource Java?
