Microsoft to support Linux

By

Microsoft gets serious about pursuing their new policy of interoperability by adding Linux support to it’s 2005 Server product.

Microsoft had always rebuffed any requests for interoperability with products it didn’t make, particularly Linux, an open-source giant, which it has long considered a threatening alternative.

On Wednesday, Microsoft head Steve Ballmer promised to add Linux support to Virtual Server 2005 Service Pack 1, which will be shipped by the end of the year, because, he said, users need to manage heterogeneous networks.
