09/20/2004 10:44 AMReuters reports that Microsoft has
announced plans to open up the code to their Office suite. Microsoft
will share the code with 30 world governments, allowing them to
inspect it for “security problems”. The announcement is part of a
wider "Microsoft's Government Security Program" launched
last year, where 30 governments have been
allowed access to the source code of Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows
Server 2003, Windows CE and now Office 2003.
Microsoft’s main competitor in many markets is free software. More
often than not, it's also open source (i.e. anyone can view the
underlying code that makes the programs work). Microsoft programs are
generally closed source and are only opened up to select people, often
with tight restrictions.
To a certain extent, Microsoft has opened up the code to stay
competitive (or ahead of the game) with regard to Open Source
software. Asides from this fact, the problems with security and
inter-operability with Microsoft programs has prompted the move.
Governments often use and need software from a variety of vendors to
work together to ensure efficiency. Microsoft hopes the move will
restore any faith lost in the past few years; recently, the company
has been beaten to some lucrative and high value contracts by Open
Source alternatives.

09/21/2004 08:41 AM Microsoft Corp. announced this week it is making the programming code
for its Office 2003 software suite available to government agencies
around the globe, a move partly aimed at allowing them to inspect the
product for flaws and security problems. Though Microsoft usually
guards such software coding tightly, the step is an extension of an
initiative the company began in January 2003 giving about 60
governments access to the inner workings of the Windows operating
system. This is the first time the software giant has shared the
source code for Office, which includes the Word text processing, Excel
spreadsheet, and PowerPoint presentation programs.
