Steve Ballmer: Caught in .Net | |
|
||
| Time: 09:45 EST/14:45 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer knows what it's like to be on the hot seat. The company he leads has been under fire for a controversial new licensing program that raised prices considerably for some customers. A high-profile initiative to deliver Web services is on the rocks. And the threat from the open-source Linux operating system is stronger than ever. But Ballmer can claim some success, too. Windows XP, the company's flagship operating system, has sold well. More than 10 million people have downloaded the latest collection of fixes and updates, called Service Pack 1, according to Microsoft. The company's Visual Studio.Net tools have won rave reviews and wide customer acceptance. And as competitors founder and struggle to make sales, Microsoft sits atop a $40 billion pile of cash. | ||

| So now Ziff-Davis phrases it as .NET is "on the rocks"? Wow, that is truly creative journalism. |

| Thought I'd pose a question that comes to mind as I'm reading this article: if the open-source community created a solid, fast, full-featured, and free version of the Remote Desktop Connection client for Windows terminal servers, do you think many corporations would consider deploying Linux on the desktop and using Windows terminal servers on the backend? |

Probably not much more than the ones that currently use this configuration with their Windows boxes.
There are already a few RDP clients available for Linux. I don't know how good they are though. One is available here, though it still needs work: http://www.rdesktop.org/ This post was edited by n4cer on Monday, October 14, 2002 at 12:23. |

| IIRC there will be licensing issues using a non Microsoft RDP client to access a Windows Terminal Server. |
