If you could ask Bill Gates one question, what would you ask? I spent an hour today with Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates on the company's Redmond campus. I chose to ask Bill about Microsoft's intellectual property stance against Linux and its open source developers, from the SCO Group's litigation against IBM to Steve Ballmer's recent claim Linux infringes on Microsoft patents after signing a patent indemnity with Novell .

12 days until Christmas, if you count today and the 25th. MS Operations Manager 2007 RC2 is here, so it's time to change focus. But MOM 2005 is still here taking care of business, and cannot be ignored (you know what they say about a woman scorned).

Filed under: Developer , Google Google has released their open source Java software development framework that they use to make AJAX application like Google Maps and Gmail. The Google Web Toolkit software is aimed at developers who "don't speak browser quirks". The Google Web Toolkit will alleviate headaches and errors brought on by tedious application testing, and switching to and running in different browsers and platforms. The Google Web Toolkit features include: Dynamic reusable UI components Really simple RPC Browser history management Real debugging Browser compatible JUnit integration Internalization Interoperability and fine grained control Completely open sourceIn all, Google is trying to make it a lot easier for developers and non developers to get their ideas into motion and reality. There are a number of example toolkit projects on the site, mostly comprised of UI widgets. If any DLS reader comes up with a Google Web Toolkit project, we would love to check it out!
