| Hanrahan hire shows true Microsoft weakness |
|---|
Microsoft’s hire of Tom Hanrahan, formerly director of engineering for the Linux Foundation (and before that of the OSDL, one of its predecessors) says a lot about the company’s true open source situation.
Hanrahan will now be running Microsoft’s interoperability lab, which it set up after its Novell deal. His immediate supervisor will be Sam Ramji, who runs its Open Source Software Lab. Above him will be Bill Hilf, general manager of the Platform Strategy Group.
