Linux driver chief shames Microsoft into action.

Microsoft shocked the open-source world this summer when it made certain drivers open-source and submitted them for inclusion in the Linux kernel. Now the leader of the Linux driver project has blogged about Microsoft dragging its feet, with developers not responding to his e-mails. The chastising apparently worked, as Microsoft responded to him soon after. The company reiterated that it is “absolutely committed to this project.” — Jeff Caruso
