Looks like violent agreement with ZD-Net open source bloggers

Posted on January 26, 2008

I am not sure why my last post was shoe-horned into this ZDNet blogpost concerning Dreamworks, Viacom, the NY Times and Wall St. fairy tales but “Thanks for spelling my name right.”

It is hard to follow the ZDNet bloggers’ thought process because a statement about BusinessWeek and Forbes readers links to InfoWorld and a statement about my analysis of the Sun (JAVA)-MySQL deal links to C-Net. (Here is my actual analysis as opposed to Martin LaMonica’s news story.)

The only line in my Research 2.0 post that sort of relates to what I think the ZD-Net guys are saying is “The leading software suppliers, with the exception of Microsoft (MSFT), long ago bought into OSS terms and conditions and development techniques.”

At least relative to open source, isn’t that the same thing the two ZDNet OSS bloggers are saying? I can’t speak to their points about BusinessWeek, Forbes, Connecticut and New Jersey. It’s winter here on the Cape Cod; all those folks have gone home.–Dennis Byron
