SpikeSource, Drupal and Windows
SpikeSource claims their version is a "Tested, Integrated and Certified Open Source Product for Windows". The news was also picked up by internetnews.com where they also state that Microsoft and Spikesource "today announced a partnership". I dont care much for the OS War, I use windows, Linux and will be buying a Mac "real soon" now. But having a tested version of Drupal out for Windows will help to get more attention. Although I would advice anyone using it to run this on development systems and not on production servers. And with the rise of user friendly Linux distro's like Ubuntu why settle for anything less when you have the choice? On the other hand, LDAP and hence AD integration is not trivial for you average MCSE-Active Directory god, so when Spikesource makes this more easier, we can see a grow of the use of Drupal for intranets in the SoHo markte:
Sure enough internetnews mentions the "235 Microsoft FUD patents" again and that:
Bite me! The funny thing is, the day they wrote the pressrelease about their release based on 5.1, Drupal 5.2 was released. The problem with bundling, testing and certification of OSS projects is that you potentially loose your "agility" to quickly patch though most enterprises dont mind. Their Drupal page. still list 5.1 and has a small type ("Druapl"). But I dont complain...
