The New Challenge to Microsoft | |
|

| Time: 08:11 EST/13:11 GMT | News Source: New York Times | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||

Thanks Robert. As the government's antitrust lawsuit winds down, Microsoft's next battle may be a knock-down, drag-out fight against Linux. Like Microsoft's Windows, Linux is a computer operating system, but written and updated by volunteer programmers in a communitarian spirit, and available for free. If Linux spreads, Microsoft could see the first real challenge to its dominance of the operating-system software market. For consumers, that would be good news. Microsoft's critics charge that its dominance of the market — more than 90 percent of home computers run on its software — results in high prices and reduced choice. And outside programmers have long complained that Microsoft makes it hard for them to create software compatible with Windows-based computers. | ||
