Microsoft wants WAMP not LAMP?

Posted by PeterJudge

I've been wondering what Microsoft is doing with open source. A few years back, when the company realised there was something viable happening in open source, that might challenge its own licencing model, Microsoft tried something called "shared source".

Now, with its Novell deal, Microsoft seems to be actually working with open source to some extent, and even has an Open Source Lab, and open source collateral.

Over at ZDNet.com, Mary Jo Foley has been talking to Sam Ramji, Microsoft’s director of platform technology atrategy - and director of its open source lab, and the picture is a bit clearer: anything open source except for Linux (and presumably OpenOffice).

So - WAMP, not LAMP
