"Openness is central because it's the foundation of choice"
Feb 23, 2009 by Joseph Reeves
Don't take my word for it though, them's the words of Steve Ballmer, head of convicted monopolist, Microsoft. It seems that Microsoft realise they can't make a phone people want to buy, so they're urging Apple to play fair and open the iPhone.
It's like the school bully getting beaten up by some bigger boys and crying about it. Boo ruddy hoo.
What amuses me the most is that Microsoft are likely to keep going towards the Open direction (frankly they have to) whilst the die-hards will keep telling me that Open-anything doesn't work. I don't even know how I managed to type this blog post from my open source browser in an open source OS, to an open source blog server running on an open source server OS. What is the world coming to?
