Real World Linux Conference 2004: Day 2 (NewsForge)

NewsForge reports from the Real World Linux 2004 Conference and Expo in Toronto. "Companies, [Jon "maddog" Hall] said, aren't using open source because the applications they want to use for their specific specialized purpose are not supported under Linux. The companies that make the applications don't want to make the applications available under Linux or other open source operating systems because no companies are using them. It's a vicious circle."
