Story: SAP slams open source 'socialism'
Posted by: Tom Russell (Stomfi) (Sunday 13 November 2005, 2:12 PM)
Definately sounds like they are toeing the party line of the old school proprietary companies, but SAP should have a look at the amazing innovation going on at IBM, with their Open Power Architecture, Cell chips and the wealth of new FOSS products to go with them,
or how about the amazing transition that Novell is doing to their once proprietary company with the SUSE acquistion and the port of the Netware stack,
or how about Oracle, Xara, Nokia, Wind River and many others who sucessfully made the migration to a new business model based on services on top of their Open Sourced IP.
Of course with MS also moving to a service oriented model on the web, which presumes a move to a thin client architecture, SAP may find their monolithic approach no longer relevant in the future market place.
