[CentOS] OT: [opensuse-offtopic] Microsoft struggles to get Hyper-V drivers in Linux kernel (fwd)
Not too sure what to think about this, considering M$'s
track record with OSS and other competitors.
Kind Regards,

Subject: [opensuse-offtopic] Microsoft struggles to get Hyper-V drivers in Linux
kernel
The company has ramped up kernel contributions in hopes of adding
Hyper-V drivers, which it has worked on for more than two years
Microsoft <http://www.networkworld.com/subnets/microsoft/> isn't
exactly
dumping Windows <http://www.networkworld.com/topics/windows.html> for
Linux
<http://www.networkworld.com/topics/linux.html>, but it has become one of
the busiest contributors
<http://linux.slashdot.org/story/11/07/16/2316251/Microsoft-Developer-Made-the-Most-Changes-To-Linux-30-Code?utm_source=rss1.0&utm_medium=feed>
to the Linux kernel. Microsoft's attempt to get Hyper-V drivers into the
Linux kernel has taken longer than expected, having begun in July 2009
<http://www.networkworld.com/news/2009/072009-microsoft-linux-source-code.html>,
so Microsoft is apparently trying to speed up the process.
Microsoft was the fifth-largest corporate contributor to Linux kernel
version 3.0, open source author and computer scientist David Wheeler writes
in his blog
<http://www.dwheeler.com/blog/2011/07/14/#microsoft-linux-author>.
