Last night, Bloomberg he said that Microsoft acquired it GitHub, and that the company is expected to make it public later today.
What can Microsoft gain from this acquisition?
Originally let's talk about the big blue elephant called Azure. We will not be surprised if Redmond uses GitHub to compete with AWS. With captured millions of developers, Microsoft could make it happen.
Microsoft could also link GitHub with its offers into a single package. So we could see a GitHub account along with Visual Studio Professional / Enterprise.
Getting GitHub like we also mentioned in a previous publication she is a very good one movement PR για τη Microsoft. Η χρήση ενός brand name που βρισκόταν στον πυρήνα ανάπτυξης του ανοιχτού κώδικα είναι μια πολύ καλή στρατηγική για μια επιχείρηση που προσπαθεί απεγνωσμένα να αποσύρει την κληρονομιά του "αγκαλιάστε, επεκτείνετε και σβήστε".
But let's go to the hardest: Over the years, GitHub has been established almost like a monopoly.
Microsoft's acquisition of Microsoft has scared some developers, many of whom are thinking of resorting to rival services. Competition is good, although monopolies are rare. It will be interesting to see how GitLab and BitBucket will handle the crisis.
But is Microsoft a monopoly? If you think it is, forget about its market share. Reality is much simpler.
In a nutshell:
Ολόκληρη η σειρά των προϊόντων της εταιρείας βασίζεται στα "δικαιώματα πνευματικής ιδιοκτησίας." Και το πιο εξωφρενικό είναι ότι αναθέτουν σε εμάς, τον φορολογούμενο, το κόστος επιβολής των δικαιωμάτων.
Let's look at an example. Imagine that you want to get into the potato business. You buy a potato and plant it. Invest your time and energy to multiply the potato and build a huge farm. When the time comes for harvesting, you can sell your potatoes in direct competition with the one who has given you the first potato.
Now imagine you want to sell Windows instead of potatoes: you buy one copy των Windows, το αντιγράφετε N φορές και αρχίζετε να τα πουλάτε. Ακριβώς όπως το παραπάνω παράδειγμα με τις πατάτες. .... Θα σας κλείσουν φυλακή!
Έτσι, όπως μπορείτε να δείτε, είναι έγκλημα να ανταγωνιστείτε τη Microsoft στα ίδια προϊόντα. Θα πρέπει να επινοήσετε τη δική σας "πατάτα" αν θέλετε να ανταγωνιστείτε μια τέτοια εταιρεία, αλλά και πάλι θα πουλάτε ένα υποκατάστατο των προϊόντων τους. So Redmond buys the substitution culture area and that certainly adds extra monopoly bonus to the company's drawer.
Imagine now a world where there is only one product supplier. That's exactly what is happening with the code software right now. Here somewhere is trying to put open source software as the only sector in which competition in the same product is allowed.
In this regard, the acquisition of GitHub by Microsoft is a defeat of the free software community and another Redmond win.
That is, for some (s), the semesters on Macro and the Micro Economy, bulletins, and monopoly and oligopoly exams.
In an omen of excellence, defending monopolies…
Really, how did we say that committee? Competition and Monopoly Control Commission?
