The road to anti-Ballmer further: Microsoft opens official GitHub account

After overturning Ballmer's last legacy of "Device + service" strategy, Nadra a move on the opposite plate. In an interview with the Chicago Sun in 2001, Ballmer called Open source software "cancer of intellectual property", and today Microsoft opened an official account on the software-sharing platform.

There is always a voice inside Microsoft that embraces open source. Microsoft opened Microsoft Open Technology company (Microsoft Open Technologies.inc, which also owns GitHub account) in 2012, but the company operates independently and the code involved is not a core project. Scott Guthrie, head of the former Azure project, known as the "Red Guru" within Microsoft, has consistently advocated technology open source, and he was promoted to the Executive vice president of Microsoft Cloud (services) and Enterprise (services) group (Cloud and Enterprise) at the end of 2013, is indicative of a further use of the open technology strategy by Microsoft in its core market offerings.

The main source of code for the account so far is the typescript, which appears as an open-source gesture at the beginning of the release. But Typescript is led by the former Borland core technical support, C # and. Net founder Anders Heijlsberg, which means it carries the next generation of Microsoft product core technology role. Its open source has a benchmarking effect on the direction of Microsoft's overall technology.
