New generation of programmers biased against Microsoft

By Jerri Lily


A new generation of programmers grew up with Microsoft's "evil" image, and Microsoft executives, Tim O'Brien, this is a misunderstanding based on prejudice, Microsoft has made a lot of changes in the embrace of open source technology. It has been 11 years since Steve Ballmer, the Linux called toxic cancer. Since then, Microsoft has taken two measures are designed to embrace open source technologies, especially Linux. Many open-source programmers do not trust Microsoft, and do not like Microsoft to treat the attitude of the popular open source projects such as Android and Linux.

O'Brien said that Microsoft has changed a lot, this is built on the basis of misunderstanding. He said: "The first is based on the past life and experience of prejudice, resulting from a negative impression, followed by lack of understanding of our platform, do not know our platform has attracted a large number of developers who want to develop applications and make money."

But the fact is that the desktop operating system has nothing to do with the cloud, because the application can be running inside the browser. Therefore, different from the 1990s, Microsoft can no longer force application developers to join their team.

Microsoft had to give up the design technology for own, such as Adobe Flash competitor Silverlight to support the upcoming HTML 5 and other new standards.

O'Brien said that Silverlight is a browser plug-ins, it is the small part for the standard is not mature to meet the users needs.

O'Brien would not comment on whether Microsoft's Azure cloud service will support Linux, but he pointed out that Microsoft has adopted a lot of non-Microsoft technologies, including Azure cloud services support: Eclipse Java development tools, open source the MongoDB NoSQL database, open source search engine Solr or Lucene, open source analysis tools the Hadoop.

The real problem is that the change be able to make Microsoft's culture has undergone more drastic changes?
