The state of enterprise Linux (ZDNet)
[Posted September 4, 2002 by corbet]
ZDNet is carrying
a
Gartner pronouncement on the future of Linux in the enterprise.
"
Microsoft will be pressured to change strategies by enabling easier
integration and interoperability, and encouraging more open-source-software
ports to Windows and .Net. We believe Microsoft will resist these
pressures--it will not port Office to Linux--as it attempts to get buy-in
by enterprise CIOs for the .Net framework. But the tide has already turned:
Most large enterprises are looking for flexibility, leverage, and
lower-cost alternatives and believe they have more options in the server
world than on the desktop."
