« Yes, we can change…and so can Microsoft.

- The Internet changes everything – especially the software business; and I am not echoing Larry Ellison’s mantra. It is unbelievable how Microsoft is changing itself nowadays, to be more friendly to open source community. As posted earlier, Microsoft has Express editions of its Visual Studio products, supports jQuery and it is now contributing Project Stonehenge code to Apache. You can read more about it here.
This is a good development. I believe the power of the Internet is not fully leveraged on Windows machines. Apple is far ahead with its iTunes and iLife. There are no compelling, similar products on Windows. I know that companies like Adobe are re-looking at developing more desktop based applications for the internet , like Adobe AIR. But there still are lot of cool internet-based apps that we can develop on Windows…though it is not too much of a fun!
