Will Open Source Lose the Battle for the Web?

Posted by Hemos on from the keep-up-the-battle dept.

snotty writes "A well written article by Ganesh Prasad over at linuxtoday arguing that the shift towards web services has reduced the attractiveness of the current generation of Open Source web products. He talks about the market share decrease in Apache. Also mentions how .NET, Microsoft, Sun, Java, and Open Source Software fit into the picture." I think that the decrease in Apache's share is a red herring, but the bigger picture of web services is a troubling one.

    Man, you really swallowed the line of crap that Microsoft is putting out. The whole .NET framework actually adds zero value to anything. It's just another way for Microsoft to extract money from everyone's wallet. I'd like to hear even one thing that can be done in the future with .NET that isn't currently being done without it.
