From the Blogroll: JBoss Acquisition
Raven Zachary, April 10, 2006 @ 3:39 pm ETOne of the unique features of this blog is the extended blogroll (see right column). We not only provide links to some of our favorite open source blogs, but we display links to recent post titles, giving you a sense of the various topics being covered in the “open source blogosphere.”

Martens : But one analyst warned that the tie-up may not prove as tidy as the combined companies hope, due to JBoss’ popularity with users of non-Red Hat platforms, especially Microsoft Corp.’s Windows Server
