Microsoft shrugs off Linux threat | |
|
||
| Time: 11:44 EST/16:44 GMT | News Source: the inquirer | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||

THERE'S A BIG puff piece about Microsoft in the Observer today in the form of an interview with its €uroboss Jean-Philippe Courtois. But in spite of the fact that last week Microsoft lost a big deal to open source in big German city Munich, Courtois seems insouciant to any threat Linux may pose to its core business. Well sort of insouciant, anyway, as he's quoted as saying there's "a measure of ambiguity to the argument revolving around open source and open standards". To demonstrate just how ambiguous this is, Courtois says in the next paragraph that it's been working with the industry "to develop and support the next generation of open standards". | ||

I will quote myself from another thread:
Why won't Linux be the OS of choice for home users. 1. Upgrading drivers is not point & click 2. Upgrading or installing programs is not point and click 3. Upgrading the Kernel or other vital parts of the OS is not point and click Now, if the Linux gurus would realize this is what home users want, and demand from their OS, then, and only then will it be a real threat to Micorosoft's monopoly as the OS of choice for the home user. |
