Competing to Open Source Software?

Imagine Microsoft and Adobe both trying to be first to Open Source new software? Are we in the Twilight Zone? Where’s Rod Serling? Wow.

Adobe vs Microsoft battle turns to open source

“Adobe open sources flex (as well as a growing list of other technologies). Microsoft responds by indicating it will open source some of its upcoming Silverlight product (which competes with Adobe’s Flash technology). There is a war emerging for Rich Internet Applications and the desktops that tie into them. And open source is quickly becoming the weapon of choice.”

Who would have thought THIS would happen? Well, at least, I believe, this is good for software customers.
