O recém-lançado Microsoft Web Application Installer lista o Drupal como uma das aplicações suportadas pelo instalador que visa facilitar a instalação de diversas aplicações web. Acho isso muito importante, pois significa uma maior difusão do Drupal, pois

This made me laugh at the irony - then WHY are you posting on a Microsoft Blog of all places?

Your first line in the article is either true, making MS a bigger fool than anyone has thought so far (ok, not really than "anyone" has thought, but this is a rhetorical device), or they are getting a clue and one day I can run the rare things I *do* need, which currently only work on Windows, on an OS that doesn't use the equivalent of placing armed guards on the "inside" of my house to prevent me from leav.., I mean, "coming in contact with, nasty hackers and evil people." Why no one got that making Vista (and even XP when trying to do some things) prevent you from using your machine, on the odd theory that this would slow down people that *shouldn't be* using it, but can anyway, was a bad way to a) improve security, or b) impress the people buying it, is incomprehensible to me. Its like someone "improving" the safety of my car by keeping me from driving on the freeway, or within 1 mile of any other vehicle.

Wow... looks awsome!

My university is offering an Internship Program at Microsoft for three months beginning on summer, I'm looking forward to get a place in that program, but I'm not sure yet. (I'm working on my fine project and with some subjects...almost a hole course so...maybe xD)

If I finally go there I don't if we can "choose" where we want to "work"/learn, if I could really choose I'll choose thid OSS lab (yep, I'm a penguin enthusiast xD) I've heard about something similar to this, ¿is this the same lab where microsoft works together with novell to get more compatibility with openSource systems? ¿how mucho openSource does microsoft include in their programs? }:) xDDD

Thanks for the pictures and showing us all this :D

This looks like a fun place to work. When you put the “Gumstix Netstix” against on old Linksys router as your compact Linux server, the Netstix wins on the compact side, but the Linksys router wins on the price side. Anyone got performance numbers for a Linksys Linux server verses the Netstix Linux server. :-)

Hmmm... and all signs of borg controls are conspicuously absent.

Thanks for sharing Steve!

Yeah, whatever. "Nice cool geeks and pretty Penguins", but Microsoft is still a criminal monopolist and duplicitous in the extreme.

Luckily, Microsoft is also irrelevant to my life, home and work included.
