Submission + - Microsoft to Red Hat: Come on down!

Submitted by MsManhattan on Monday June 18, 2007 @09:36AM

MsManhattan writes: Microsoft hopes to lure Red Hat into a licensing and interoperability agreement akin to those it has signed with Linspire, Xandros and Novell, but so far Red Hat remains stand-offish, according to the article 'Microsoft interoperability team: Bring on Red Hat.' 'We continue to believe that open source and the innovation it represents should not be subject to an unsubstantiated tax that lacks transparency,' a Red Hat spokeswoman said in an e-mail. Nonetheless, rumors suggest that a deal between the two rivals is 'imminent.'

Best of all, it is quickly outpacing Microsoft with regard to ingenuity with the possible exception of Silverlight and Popfly. Then again, as cool as the two previously mentioned projects happen to be, the fact remains that Microsoft is alienating Linux users whenever possible. At the end of the day, they feel they need to protect their Windows Vista investment."

Good thing to know, especially if that's how you get notified of an outage of your own network."

The reason? Our test data includes data that was inserted on 11/01/2005 and this is now being treated as Daylight Savings Time instead of Standard time. Has anyone else run into this problem? Have you found any fixes that actually work?"
