Penguin cracks Windows servers (IT-Director)Penguin cracks Windows servers (IT-Director)Posted May 5, 2003 16:35 UTC (Mon) by mdekkers (guest, #85)In reply to: Penguin cracks Windows servers (IT-Director) by erat Parent article: Penguin cracks Windows servers (IT-Director) I can see where you are coming from, but disagree. The "Linux will hurt MS" truly is newsworthy -- it is more then just a "crutch". There are/were many, many nice OS's out there that had enough quality on their own to outshine the crap MS spews out, however, many / most have failed. Beos, anyone? The fact that Linux is a real threat to MS is newsworthy, and not just an "Anti-MS jab", since Linux is the first OS to threaten MS on much of their traditional home ground. Linux can stand on its own, that goes without saying. If it couldn't, it wouldn't be mentioned at all. And "MS is going down hard, fast and burning up in flames" is hardly free advertisement, is it? You are right that success for Linux does not neccisarily coincide with failure for MS -- today, more often it coincides with failure for UNIX -- news initself as well. Success for Linux is, however, always going to coincide with failure for *something*, given the saturation and composition of the market.
