[51cto.com exclusive Article] Microsoft has always been regarded as the No. 1 killer of open source, operating systems, databases, office software, security software, development tools, browsers ...... Microsoft has a fierce competition and competition with open-source products on almost every line. However, after so many years of development, we found that Microsoft's open-source competitors not only did not fall down, but all of them expanded their territory and won the favor of users. Is it Microsoft's combat power? Or is it hard to sell?

 

In my opinion, Microsoft does its best.

First, I want to take a look at Sun's Java. I don't expect to steal chicken or eat rice. If I don't make anything, I have to pay Sun a large fee. Later I worked with SCO to drive Linux, and let IBM and major open-source vendors join hands to fight back. Anti-monopoly Law, piracy, security issues ...... Microsoft has already completed failover. Now, in order to enable our hyper-V to support Linux well, we have to contribute more than 20 thousand lines of source code, as a result, the open-source community is still not satisfied with this kind of attitude. It claims that the code is unqualified and refuses to accept it.

 

It seems that this title of the number one killer of open source is really not suitable.

 

When many open-source fighters are eager to deal with Microsoft, a huge black shadow secretly picked up the steel strings and held the neck of another famous open-source project, one day, good open-source fighters suddenly discovered that sun was suddenly absent, and a huge black shadow was shining on the sky above the head, there are six letters floating on it-Oracle.

 

As one of the reporters optimistic about Oracle's acquisition of sun, I have publicly been glad that sun has not been acquired by IBM, but what happened since then has made everyone stunned.

Soon after the acquisition was completed, Oracle quickly showed its nature. First, we were prepared to let MySQL survive and let its core developers leave the company to start their own business. Then, we decided to give them control over OpenOffice development, I don't want IBM, Google, RedHat, or Novell to be too hard on it (for interested readers, refer to another article I wrote, "oracle is causing further damage to OpenOffice camp collapse"); then Oracle pulled the free Java back and made some disgusting tasks such as license authorization, so that other companies such as IBM RedHat relied heavily on Java could not hesitate.

 

Are these all done? No! Oracle was not satisfied yet, and looked at Sun's pride in Solaris and its young opensolaris.

 

Oracle has always listed Linux as a strategic operating system because of its low cost and excellent performance in the server field. However, although they use Linux, but for commercial purposes, they are not enthusiastic about the open-source Linux. Earlier, they copied the Red Hat Enterprise Edition and provided discount services. After Sun's acquisition, solairs's fate is ultimately a cup of wine, whether it's for cost reduction or corporate strategy-in the current economic situation, oracle has little chance of retaining two operating system product lines at the same time.

That's it! In just three or four months, Oracle has put a large segment of top open-source products down. Microsoft and the open-source camp have been fighting for more than a decade and have not been able to deal with an open-source product.

 

Every time I see Sun's "History" in just a few months, I think of the South Tang Dynasty in the time of five generations and ten kingdoms. Even if there are many talented people, the country master is brilliant, but he cannot stop the wolf-like Brother Zhao. After the country is swallowed up, the beloved woman is ruined by others.

 

In any case, I would like to thank mcneili. He has made all his products open source the moment before "Xian Cheng. Although independent companies are gone, the fire of the revolution has spread to various open-source organizations and companies with Sun's tolerance and generosity. MySQL branches like mariadb have been thriving.

 

I believe that Sun's other open-source products will also have their appropriate successors to carry forward. Oracle, the killer of multiple open-source projects on the verge of extinction, if you do not regret it again, one day it will be severely retaliated by the open-source camp.
