Microsoft has sent a Happy Birthday message to the Linux Foundation, congratulating them on turning 20 years old. The video, created by the Microsoft Germany team and shared on the Linux video site, documents the past twenty years of sniping and rivalry between the two platforms, though suggests that the end for such arguments might be in sight.
Titled “Microsoft vs. Linux” the video shows a cartoon penguin and a geeky looking guy who may well be Bill Gates as they struggle to understand each other. Linux ideas “seemed too childish to Microsoft” the video suggests, as Tux rows across the internet seas and Microsoft watches in blissful ignorance from the shore.
I personally wanted to wish everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year. Thank you for your support throughout 2010 and I look forward to sharing, meeting and working with more of you in 2011.
I was travelling overseas to attend various conferences and to present in couple of SCADA / Smart Grid conferences therefore was not able to keep the blog upto date. I'll try to catch up with that soon.
