Tres bon article au sujet de l'attitude de M* concernant la proposition de standardisation des formats de documents dans l'etat du Massachusetts (USA). C'est une tres bonne analyse et relativement courte. On y parle de DEC et de VMS, entre autre :-)
Il est particulierement interessant de comprendre la dynamique qui est en jeu lors des phases de standardisation d'une technologie dans un marche. "... when a technology space is immature, and the technology isn't "good enough", the vendor that controls the entire delivery process (i.e. tightly integrated innovation) wins. Once the vendor starts to over deliver on customer needs, indeed customers can't absorb (and so don't want to pay for) new innovation, then there is a call for standardization in the market place. At this point, the component players can get involved, and tightly integrated innovation no longer wins the day." http://stephesblog.blogs.com/my_weblog/2005/09/microsoft_massa.html dc _______________________________________________ gull mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alphanet.ch/mailman/listinfo/gull
