Wix not enough memory to open this page free#

Today, there are five core developers (Robert, K, Reid, and Derek, thank you!) regularly working on WiX in their free time with another ten submitting fixes occasionally.

Second, WiX is a very developer oriented project and thus providing source code access increases the pool of available developers. First, working on WiX has never been a part of my job description or review goals. Now, let's talk about why WiX was released as Open Source.

Here's the part on the idea behind, from his release comments He's the one behind the SourceForge release. MS would still include them into their release by grabbing the latest stable build and putting that through testing. All of these apps MS could release and allow the community to develop further.

How about notepad, wordpad, HyperTerminal, ms paint, cmd.exe, backup, sound recorder, volume control, windows movie maker, calculator, freecell, Hearts, Pinball, Solitaire, etc. MS has tons of smaller applications that they do not sell that they could release and have people work on these applications in an _open_ fashion without MS trying to keep their controlling hand on the project. This is where MS will fail based on what they have shown us in the past. However, to achieve that, MS will need to give something as a good faith token gesture to the community and not keep their hands on it. MS has the potential to drastically change their public appearance and even possibly build a community of loyal developers working in their own free time similar to OSS. The problem with that is that your shell is restarted and you often lose many of your notification area icons. The only 'fix' is to either log out or run taskmgr and kill and restart explorer.exe. When you are trying to user explorer.exe as a file manager, it constantly locks files and directories and makes it a pain to use. For example, why not release windows explorer (not IE)? That code _needs_ some serious fixing.

If MS wanted to show people that they were serious about OSS and wanted to actually try to build a community of loyal developers like with OSS, they would release something more significant, yet not one of their big 'IP' projects. The 'leaders' at MS have _always_ stressed their position on 'IP', and MS will not give anything away or share it with _any_ community. They are not taking OSS seriously, and have this little project there to say, 'look, we do open source as well'. To me this suggest that MS is only doing another PR stunt. There are tons of installers for MS windows already, including freeware, Open Source and commercial.

Now they are taking another shot with a real Open Source license, though as I suspected, they are releasing a low profile, and uninteresting project.

MS first tried their 'shared' source initiative, and it was basically a flop because of the very restrictive license which basically only allowed you to look at the code. It sounds as if you are suggesting that everyone just forget about the tons of unethical and underhanded tactics from MS? At the end of the day MS is still MS and they care about control and the bottom line, in that order.
