Ainda bem que o Carlos Oliveira e a sua equipa se demarcou bem cedo desta geração mais fundamentalista que muitas vezes conotou a Universidade e o nosso curso como pró-linux e só open source. Desde cedo se focaram em criar soluções para este mercado mobile (focus), aproveitando as diferentes plataformas (muito para além do browser), com uma equipa muito qualificada e com um mercado bem para além das fronteiras nacionais.

Venham mais centros de desenvolvimento para Portugal como os da Nokia-Siemens (Aveiro), a Qimonda (Vila do Conde), Cisco (Oeiras), Fujitsu, e agora também a Microsoft (Braga) ...
