How a Microsoft veteran learned to love Linux, and why it matters | |

I first met Bill Gates at the age of twenty. He stood in the yard of his Washington lakefront home, Diet Coke in hand, a tastefully small ketchup stain on his shirt, which no one had the courage to point out, and answered our questions, in-turn, like a savant. As a college summer intern, I had planned for a potential encounter and I approached him with questions that interested me but which would be arcane to non-computer mortals. | ||

"However, now that there is the free and powerful Linux kernel, there is no longer any reason but inertia to use a proprietary kernel"
Deep .... Free books in the library means only inertia keeps us buying books ... Free music on the radio means only inertia keeps from buying CD's. In fact, why go to a concert by some who charges money ... etc etc. This post was edited by NotParkerToo on Sunday, June 21, 2009 at 12:40. |

| Give the man credit for being able to make money by putting forth an opinion put into many words. |

"Windows has become somewhat popular for servers and devices, but it never achieved the dominance it did on desktop PCs." Huh?
Somewhat popular? lol Windows server software dominates the distributed server space, period. Additionally, it gains share from all the Unix flavors quarter after quarter. Once again, the author misses the point. That is, that Microsoft has a terrific programming platform. That is why they create great application software and there are tens of thousands for profit, shareware and freeware titles created by others for virtually any subject you care to mention. Software titles written for *nix, not so much . . . |
