Microsoft has struck out at the Software Freedom Law Centre's (SFLC) claims that its Open Specification Promise is not as open as it should be.
Microsoft's apparently contradictory stance regarding the General Public License version 3 (GPLv3), is both logically and legally sound, according to Joseph Sweeney, advisor with analyst group IBRS.
Microsoft should be able to extricate itself from the implications of the new GPLv3, according to a leading Australian Intellectual Property lawyer.
The launch of Google Gears, which is likely to mean the search giant's word processing, spreadsheet and calendar applications will soon work offline, is unlikely to dent the market share of Microsoft's Office productivity suite, according to an analyst.
The South Australian government is looking at a software overhaul that could see Apple or Red Hat taking over from Microsoft on the state's PCs. Analysts warn, however, skills costs could still lead to a software environment dominated by a single platform.
