Six articles that will teach you more about Open Source

Open Source is an interesting subject, not to mention that the Open Source movement has become a true power through the years, providing us with a great range of freely available software.
From time to time we’ve looked at different aspects of Open Source in this blog, so we decided to cherry-pick some of our very best Open Source-related articles and present them for your reading pleasure.

  • The seven largest Open Source deals ever – This is a list of the largest deals in Open Source history. A lot of Open Source companies have been bought in the last couple of years, with hundreds of millions of dollars trading places in the process.

But, Microsoft does have test laboratories for Open Source software as well as for their Mac products (think MS Office for Mac). Here is a little bit of insight into these “outsiders” inside Microsoft.
  • Linux popularity across the globe – For many, Linux goes hand in hand with Open Source. The Linux landscape is constantly changing and has a strong community of both developers and users. But where is Linux the most popular, and where are the different Linux distributions the most popular?
