Excerpts: "What Microsoft has done with the library is an open source project called the Research Information Centre Framework. It’s a virtual research framework, helping them manage the increasingly complex range of tasks involved in 21st century research. OK, where’s the catch? Built on top of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007, the RIC extends the core MOSS functionality to meet the needs to academic researchers engaged in collaborative research projects" .... "To Microsoft open source is not an end in itself. It is a marketing tool. It is a way to gain lock-in with important customer sets." ____________________________________________________ Best A.
