Sun: Linux Users Don't Actually Want Linux (TechWeb)Sun: Linux Users Don't Actually Want Linux (TechWeb)Posted Jun 12, 2003 13:32 UTC (Thu) by PorcoRosso (guest, #11846)In reply to: Sun: Linux Users Don't Actually Want Linux (TechWeb) by trimtab Parent article: Sun: Linux Users Don't Actually Want Linux (TechWeb)
Historically, the proprietary software and hardware industries have been about convincing customers to pay a vendor to purchase their own handcuffs. Basically, the bargain is "pay us to solve this problem today in exchange for restricting your options tomorrow, unless you pay us more money." It is a bad bargain and has become an even worse bargain as the implied "competitive advantage" offered by the vendors erodes to "no advantage" at a faster and faster rate. This is a great comment. May I use this in my marketing materials?
