Microsoft Joins the Eclipse Foundation
I feel like I&#x27;m not seeing the forest for the trees.<p>I swear Microsoft&#x27;s business model was to bring people in to their ecosystem and then charge them for what is hopefully a superior development experience.<p>Is there a new business model? How do they lock people in and squeeze them for money? Is their cloud solution radically different from the competition that they can put all their eggs in that basket? What&#x27;s the big picture plan?
Or is the new CEO just going rambo and pandering to DIY geeks who want everything for free ? (myself included!)<p>I feel like there has to be some parallel universe blog where these press releases explain what they&#x27;re doing to investors beyond &quot;we&#x27;re going to take your money, and we&#x27;re going to make things with it. And then give it away for free! Please give us more money&quot;<p>Like awesome dude... but what the hell is going on?
