Playing the Linux Game, By email (IT-Director)

[Posted May 19, 2003 by ris]

IT-Director tells us how to play the Linux Game. "IBM has done well playing the Linux game. Although in theory Linux doesn't belong to anyone, in practice it belongs to those that can profit from it most and thus it belongs most to IBM. It belongs to Hewlett Packard and Dell too of course. It doesn't belong to Sun Microsystems much and it belongs least to Microsoft. Just to confirm this, Steve Ballmer recently said, yet again, that Microsoft will not port its products to Linux."

Significant analyst, developer "mind share"

This is well worth reading - Robin Bloor is a well-known analyst in the IT world, and he is saying that Linux has virtually won, since it already has the lion's share of developers.

If someone creates a new Linux instance on a mainframe, who counts it? If
someone deletes WNT from a server and loads Linux, who counts it?

Please use it, and tell Mr. Bloor about it.
