Red Hat CEO 'Scared' About Microsoft's Legal Tactics To Crush Linux | |
|
||
| Time: 09:22 EST/14:22 GMT | News Source: CRN | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
Red Hat Chairman and CEO Matthew Szulik said Microsoft's legal efforts to challenge open source by employing patent infringement law represent a big threat. "It's a credible threat, no doubt about it," said Szulik, a native son of Massachusetts who returned to deliver the keynote at Enterprise Linux Forum here. "We see the threat of costs of litigation could be harmful, cause a disenfranchisement of the global collaborative [development] community and disrupt the speed of innovation. Yes, I think it's quite credible." | ||

"More competition is good," Szulik said, slamming Microsoft in the next breath. "We've seen what happened over the last 23 years when there is [no competition]."
--In the end cream rises to the top. I for one am happy the way things have worked in regarding MS and Windows, nothing beats XP Pro on the desktop. |

"More Competition is good," Szulik said, "as long as it's not directed at us."
Let's see... Who was it who wanted to ban their competition? Oh yeah, redhat... http://www.redhat.com/opensourcenow/bill_opensource.html |

If you make a good product what’s the problem?
The market will stand by you by buying your product and your competitors will follow. If Linux is making a good product they should have nothing to worry about. If. |

Well this is complete nonsense:
"More competition is good," Szulik said, slamming Microsoft in the next breath. "We've seen what happened over the last 23 years when there is [no competition]." No competition, whose fault is that...MS had a legally gained monopoly on the desktop...that's it!! Just because other companies fail to innovate and stay ahead in the server/development/embedded space doesn't mean MS can't innovate, standardize and integrate their products. And for one, I think a heck of a lot of innovation has occurred in 23 years...does everything Szulik say become automatic gospel to the ABMers? #7 MS doesn't do it (read #8)...and don't bring up Lindows because they should have picked a different name. #8 Well said!

#5, #7 - There is an old saying... Know they enemy, but know thyself most.
How can you ever hope to "defeat" Microsoft is you keep attributing to the company things that the company has never done. Isn't it enough to just focus on the facts and approach those? Why this use of FUD? |

If you had a solid plan and good product (or one you could make good) you would not need to be scared.... but you dont really have either yet!...
