Mejor que se den de tortas entre ellos, así los beneficiados serán los usuarios. Saludos, -- Camaleón -- Para dar de baja la suscripción, mande un mensaje a: opensuse-es+unsubscribe@opensuse.org Para obtener el resto de direcciones-comando, mande un mensaje a: opensuse-es+help@opensuse.org

Hoy apareció en Linux Magazine, la opinión de Linus Torvalds al respecto: http://www.linux-mag.com/cache/7439/1.html When approached by Linux Magazine as to whether he has even looked at the code, Linus Torvalds (the father of Linux) replied: “I haven’t. Mainly because I’m not personally all that interested in driver code (it doesn’t affect anything else), especially when I wouldn’t use it myself. So for things like that, I just trust the maintainers. I tend to look at code when bugs happen, or when it crosses multiple subsystems, or when it’s one of the core subsystems that I’m actively involved in (ie things like VM, core device resource handling, basic kernel code etc). I’ll likely look at it when the code is actually submitted to me by the maintainers (Greg [Kroah-Hartman], in this case), just out of morbid curiosity.” There has been a lot of noise about this since the announcement a few days ago, but what does it all really mean? Let’s start with the opening paragraph of the press release, which says: “Today, in a break from the ordinary, Microsoft released 20,000 lines of device driver code to the Linux community. The code, which includes three Linux device drivers, has been submitted to the Linux kernel community for inclusion in the Linux tree. The drivers will be available to the Linux community and customers alike, and will enhance the performance of the Linux operating system when virtualized on Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V or Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V.” You can’t help but notice the very first line, “a break from the ordinary.” That’s right. Normally Microsoft is trying to destroy Linux and free software. They hate the GPL license which they call a virus, a cancer, the destroyer of intellectual property, and even anti-American. It’s also just that - a break. Nothing has changed in Redmond, the company still hates Linux and they still want to destroy it. So why the patch? Well, it contains three drivers which will enhance the performance of Linux when virtualized as a guest under Microsoft’s visualization product, Hyper-V. Ahh, now the truth starts to emerge. The purpose of the code has nothing to do with being generous, but rather it is to ensure that Linux will run well under their own visualization technology. Microsoft has well realized that the world is moving towards free software and that users are implementing Linux in their infrastructure. Sintetizando, Linus minimizó este hecho, porque por lo general el no se ocupa de los drivers, ya que no afectan al funcionamiento del kernel.
