Microsoft spoiling for a Red Hat fight with Web Apps on Linux
Microsoft is apparently going to support Firefox and Safari with its upcoming Office Web Applications (and, hence, Windows alternatives like Mac OS X and Linux). Yes, those using Internet Explorer and Silverlight will have an enhanced experience, but this is an exceptional step forward for Microsoft, and is smart business for Microsoft.
But what does it mean for Red Hat?
Yes, Red Hat. I'm not suggesting that Red Hat's desktop business is threatened, because today it doesn't have much of a Linux desktop business. Red Hat has chosen not to compete - at least, not much - on the traditional enterprise desktop.
That's not the point.
