Here’s a few interesting tidbits gleaned from the net:
- It appears that Microsoft’s bid to get Office Open XML, their new office standard did get through ISO. Interestingly enough, lots of developing world countries voted against it. There’s lots of great details on Groklaw.
- Venture capitalists are liking open source more and more. Why do we nptechies care? More $ toward open source is a tide that lifts all boats.
- It’s still mighty small (still around 2%), but Linux Desktop market share grew from 40-60% (depending on who you ask) from last year.
- Adobe (yeah, Adobe) joined the Linux Foundation, and released a Linux alpha of Air, their new application platform.
