Summary: Java and GNU/Linux are named top IT skills; Microsoft hopes to change that
Earlier this week we showed that Novell carries on helping Microsoft with Mono/.NET. In general, Novell is harming Java in the process [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] and this new survey shows why. Java is said to be the most desirable information technology skill, followed by GNU/Linux.

Market research firm Foote Partners has updated its survey of the most sought-after IT skills (non-certified) and ranked Linux experience and skills as the second most sought after by US and Canadian employers. The top position is held by Java Enterprise Edition, Standard Edition and Micro Edition.
Very much to Microsoft’s delight, Mono continues to be an area of focus at Novell, which harms both Java and GNU/Linux by doing what it does. █

“The patent danger to Mono comes from patents we know Microsoft has, on libraries which are outside the C# spec and thus not covered by any promise not to sue. In effect, Microsoft has designed in boobytraps for us.
“Indeed, every large program implements lots of ideas that are patented. Indeed, there’s no way to avoid this danger. But that’s no reason to put our head inside Microsoft’s jaws.”
–Richard Stallman
