The Microsoft killers (Prospect Magazine)
This article on Prospect Magazine looks
at the origins of open source and at Linux adoption around the world.
"The recipe for Coca-Cola is one of the most closely guarded secrets
in the world. Yet a small Canadian software firm has sold 150,000 cans of a
rival fizzy cola, which tastes very like Coke, and has made the recipe
public. The firm behind the drink, Opencola, makes software, not drinks. It
used the drink (and its open recipe) as a metaphor for the most important
trend in software today." (Thanks to Stuart Ritchie)
