Plan 9 and Apache.... err huh?  After spending 5 pages meandering around the history of authentication frameworks, Paul Murphy ends up this lame LinuxWorld article with this conclusion: Apache has market share, Plan 9 has the technology. Got it? The only people who fear Microsoft,  and know they need single-signon, and have the dough to bankroll it are actively pursuing Liberty.  I don't see the connection between Apache market share and the success of Plan9.  I think the disconnect results from two major cliches the article is guilty of:   open source must 'beat' MS to succeed,  and technological superiority wins the day.  (see "CORBA") 4:14:23 PM      comment []  trackback []
