Microsoft monopoly dream woke up, Free Software smile

<title></title>

In December 21, Microsoft followed the European Union's ruling and "disclosed" to the free software community the magic weapon of "anti-market competition", that is, Microsoft (Windows workgroup server) Network Communication "Protocol document ". In the past, Microsoft relied on this magic weapon to bring many competitors out of the market competition and thus impede technological advances. Accordingly, Microsoft's market share in the enterprise application market has increased year by year. The European Union saw Microsoft's unfair means of competition in the monopoly market and insisted that it had fought an anti-monopoly lawsuit with Microsoft for many years. The right and right sides of the lawsuit finally won the final victory in September this year.

Microsoft entered the enterprise application field as the "King of users" based on the absolute advantage of Windows users. The external communication protocols of Microsoft's "Working Group servers" are not open, forcing enterprises to purchase Microsoft's server software products. Linux's "strengths" are on the server side. However, Microsoft has "overwhelmed" the secrets of "Conversations" between servers, making Linux servers "inaccessible ", rather, it is not ridiculous to slander "Linux technology is not mature?

We talked about compatibility with Microsoft all day long, but Microsoft was secretly "Laughing ". It is not based on China's anti-monopoly law to fight against it. What is easy to get is only the gift of Microsoft. We are a great country and have experienced countless disasters. Now we have finally stood up and don't need the gifts of others. The movement for free software is global, and China should naturally be involved. In December 21, Microsoft and the Protocol freedom information foundation, founded by the Software Freedom Law Center ") the formal signing of complex legal agreements forced Microsoft to "disclose" the server's technical secrets (documents), allowing the free software community Samba to gain a glimpse of the mysteries, this will help all types of Linux servers to enter the enterprise application market, and China will also benefit from this. European Samba leader Volker lendecke said, "I would like to thank the EU for recognizing that free software is a legitimate competitor in the IT industry and that the Agreement license provided to the Free Software world is actually in line with GPL specifications ". So far, we can say:

Microsoft's monopoly dream woke up, and free software smiled.

Note: currently, Free Software in China does not have a clear legal status. For example, free software may not pass "software registration or registration.
