Microsoft's general manager of platform strategy, Taylor has to deal with anti-Microsoft sentiments while evangelizing his company's products. Despite the challenges, he maintains an unwavering conviction that his company can deliver better returns than those offered by open-source software.
An excerpt of the article with my comments
1) Businesses that tried out Linux or other open-source tools are now realizing that they are putting in more investment into the technology than they had initially thought. Microsoft too provides some costly support through frequent patches and hot fixes.
2)We are looking to understand some of the scenarios like why customers are considering Linux, and making sure we have the right offerings for the marketplace. Lessons to be learnt from Open source by Microsoft
3)We continue to run our lab where we analyze and look at open-source software to understand and ensure we're still building the right things from a short-term or long-term basis.
The interview in total reveals Microsoft's losing hand against linux. I had a confusion on Martin Taylor's views, where most of his mention were against Linux more than open source.
