Open Source Software (OSS) Movement Microanalysis Looking at the OSS Movement's "World Domination 201" Manifesto In Detail Fixation on hating Microsoft, misunderstanding of the importance of the operating-sytem layer, and a lack of market research dooms movement as next disruptive technology era emerges (see figure).
This IT Investment Research micro-analysis of the open source software (OSS) movement philosophy is broader than a look at just IT investment opportunity because the OSS document called "World Domination 201" on which this micro-analysis focuses applies to many aspects of the IT market in addition to investment opportunites, and includes broad assumptions about the past and future of computing. I have recently completed a for-purchase analysis of the OSS movement's effect on the IT Top 12 (information and free sample available here) but this micro-analysis focuses on one very small but interesting sliver of that overall research. This analyis is available free of charge. Simply click on the word "micro-analysis" above (an word processor suppoting .rtf might be required if you download; a free .NET Passport account might be required if you view online). IT Investment Research will provide detailed presentations of this analysis on a client site or over the web for a fee; call Dennis Byron at 508-259-2016 or EMAIL ME Now!!!
