Microsoft Talks Tough on Linux | |

Microsoft Corp. on Thursday devoted an entire 40-minute session at its annual financial day here to the competitive threat posed to its business by open source software and Linux. In a presentation entitled "Competing and Winning Around Linux," Kevin Johnson, the group vice president of worldwide sales, marketing and services group, said the company's focus was now to target some very specific workloads. Microsoft is looking at the total Linux server installed base, targeting the very specific solutions that could be of value to its customers, and fine-tuning its value propositions with regard to these workloads, including Web serving and HPC (High Performance Computing). | ||

MS doesn't care about the desktop because they know they have that sewn up. They want to get rid of Linux servers. MS has always 'talked tough' about Linux. Hopefully, they'll also start 'talking truth'.

| Microsoft doesn't need to, or want to, kill off the Mac, or even criticize it, as MS makes as much on Office for Mac as they do on a PC with Windows and Office both installed. |

So when is Microsoft going to release MS/Linux and get hardware vendors to make drivers that actually work?
