Microsoft will support Red Hat Linux as the guest operating system in Windows Hyper-V. However, in the recent OSCON 2011, Microsoft was silenced with the news, it may be because the anger for the Windows giant's attempt to open source has not subsided.

Bryan Davis, an OSCON participant and software architect, was not touched. He said: "The Same Thing Is different dates. Microsoft uses open source as their free plug-ins for closed systems. The core technology is to occupy and create processes ."

Then Luke Closs, a software developer on Twitter, responded to the comment: "The purpose of Microsoft's # OSCON #: this is a trap !"

Others say that Microsoft's motivation is actually selfish. "This is simple," said Uls Sandberg, CEO of SkySQL. Microsoft is making money ."

A manager, known to a large technology company, also has a similar accusation. His company supports IT deployment by multiple manufacturers. He emailed: "If the IT store really enters a hybrid environment, VMware will also have a chance. Hyper-V is not just a product unique to Microsoft. IMHO not only supports CentOS, but also RH is not a standard operating program. It just says, 'Look, we do love open source, so consider us as a competitor of VMware, not just systems that want to support others ". "I didn't see Microsoft put too much effort on Linux," he said. No one who talked to me was excited about its prospects. Rhel kvm seems to have a greater impact in my life circle ."

However, Gianugo Rabellino, senior director of the Microsoft open-source community, tried his best to attract OSCON participants. He stressed that many customers run Linux and Windows at the same time, the interaction in the "hybrid IT" era is also necessary.

Along the same route, Microsoft extended its SUSE Linux Interoperability Protocol (now replaced by Novell by Attachmate) to 2016. During this period, Microsoft agreed to invest $0.1 billion in the new Linux Enterprise Certificate to provide customers with Linux support from SUSE.

The Red Hat Linux-Hyper-V news is not surprising considering Microsoft's big moves. At the beginning of the year, Microsoft said it would support CentOS as the guest operating system in Hyper-V.

Rabellino also talked about other examples of Microsoft's citizenship, including its support for Drupal and Joomla open-source content management systems. Microsoft also released Windows Azure SDK 4.0 for PHP and a new tool for PHP application development in the cloud.

However, Rabellino's attempt to attract an audience by selling members of the Apache Software Foundation, coupled with a relatively short term of office at Microsoft, did not influence more cynical attendees.
