Red Hat joins the Vendor Interop Alliance: Much ado about...?
Today Red Hat announced that has joined the Vendor Interop Alliance, the group that Microsoft chartered with other top software companies, but which has not involved Red Hat to date.
I suppose it’s a good move for the industry, but I’m left wondering what substance, if any, it provides. It’s not that the VIA is a bad idea, but rather that the fact that one has to come up with such a thing in the first place suggests that the market is a bit broken, and unlikely to be fixed by a crowd of people standing around, clapping each other on the backs.
As Matthew Aslett notes, Red Hat’s participation seems to be limited to its JBoss middleware, which already had partnered with Microsoft to improve interoperability. So what, if anything, does this agreement get Microsoft that it didn’t already have? Or Red Hat?
