Linux Foundation: We'd love to work with Microsoft (InfoWorld)

InfoWorld presents an interview with the Linux Foundation's executive director Jim Zemlin. "InfoWorld: So are Microsoft's days as the dominant provider of desktop and server and maybe even handheld operating systems numbered? Zemlin: Monopolies don't last forever, so I mean, I think they've got a long way to go. It's just natural over time that people aren't going to allow a single company to dominate the market. But the more important thing that Microsoft I think is grappling with now, and you saw that recently they've opened up their protocols and they're trying to be a more open company, is they realize that there's been a fundamental shift in how companies create innovative products and compete in the marketplace. And companies are doing that through open and mass collaboration."
