Microsoft Proposes Cooperative Research With OSDL

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the olive-branch-or-a-fox-in-the-henhouse dept.

turnitover writes "According to eWEEK.com, Microsoft has proposed to work with OSDL for a 'facts-based analysis of Linux and Windows.' Could this just be a case of the fox contracting security for the hen house?" Martin Taylor, Microsoft's general manager of platform strategy, declined to comment on the specifics of what was discussed when he met with OSDL's CEO Stuart Cohen, only to say that they met.
