HP Announces Support For MySQL, JBoss

Posted by simoniker on from the i'm-not-the-boss-of-you dept.

Chroniton writes "According to InternetNews.com: 'HP stepped up its commitment to open source software Monday by pledging to offer and support the MySQL database server and JBoss application server software in its servers' - it's also mentioned: 'The deal is truly symbiotic. While MySQL and JBoss get backing from a technology driver such as HP, HP gets the added credibility of being cozy with open source, a label many enterprises and HP rivals, such as IBM and Dell, are working toward.'"

    If suckers are prepared to pay for it, in fact the only thing they wont support are their own staff, CEO's on the other hand are nicely supported (and their entire future family trees)

    so keep cheerleading HP while they swap American jobs for cheap Indians while passing on the savings in salaries directly to the largest shareholders not the actual customers
