Red Hat, an open-source subsidiary established by Microsoft, is cautiously optimistic
GuideRed Hat, a Linux leader, said today that he welcomed Microsoft's establishment of an open technology subsidiary, but Red Hat also took a wait-and-see attitude towards Microsoft's practice. However, this is also normal. You must know that Microsoft has always described the Linux and open-source software industries as a "cancer" in the industry in the past. RedHat pointed out that on the open-source Road, it is impossible to have no objection.

Microsoft issued a statement last week to set up an open-source technology subsidiary. It is reported that the new company will be headed by Microsoft executive Jean Paoli, and the company will gradually promote and establish a Strategic Team for interconnectivity in the development. The newly established company hopes to promote the construction of open-source communities and the formulation of standards, and bridge the technologies between Microsoft and non-Microsoft. In response, RedHat issued a cautious and optimistic statement today:

First, we welcome Microsoft's announcement last week that it had set up a wholly-owned subsidiary of Microsoft open-source technology to promote open-source interoperability, open standards, and open-source communities.

1. Consumers and developers will be the biggest winners of Open Source

Open-source and open standards can give consumers and developers great freedom, and the interoperability of operations will also lead to more possibilities. In such an open and beautiful world, we expect Microsoft to have more help and changes to the open-source community. At the same time, this also provides an option for consumers.

2. The power of open source is surging

The power of open source cannot be underestimated. The 10th anniversary of the Linux market will also come. Through our bitter journey, you will find that although there are opponents along the way, now we can see that Microsoft, the world's leading technology company, is focusing on open source, open-source software is used as a new innovation strategy. At the same time, some new members of open source are also surprising because many of them are seriously involved in open source projects.

3. Open source is a fundamental change

Making an open-source and open-source standard that is eye-catching and up to its promise is not an easy task. This is not a success if the consortium announces it once or twice. Open-source companies that make a true commitment to openness will also become part of their corporate culture, which is a fundamental change. For many years, RedHat has helped many consumers and partners fully understand this concept. Finally, we would like to thank those technical supporters who have made outstanding contributions to open-source. We believe that the future of the open-source community will be better.

Finally: Through the above statement, we can see that RedHat also has doubts about Microsoft's optimism in setting up an open technology subsidiary, because it does not rely on one or two inputs to achieve relevant achievements, making open-source commitments also means that this is a change in culture and company philosophy. In any case, we believe that Microsoft's establishment of an open-source technology subsidiary will help and change the number of open-source communities.
