Operating system battling non-believers (Globe and Mail)
[Posted May 1, 2003 by ris]
The Globe and Mail
looks
at Linux in the workplace, and talks to Evan Leibovitch.
"
So whenever Mr. Leibovitch hears objections to Linux, he dismisses
them as a "smokescreen thrown up by people who have turf to protect." So
what are the valid obstacles to Linux in the workplace? One objection is
that popularity of a product is a powerful argument to switch, but it's
difficult to measure the success of Linux. No one has records of the number
of installations of Linux, because as a free system it can't be measured
the traditional way, which is to calculate the number of copies a
manufacturer ships." (Thanks to Philip Webb)
