| Time: 12:10 EST/17:10 GMT | News Source: Reuters | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

Oracle and Dell kicked off a Linux-based alliance in China on Thursday that may spell trouble for Microsoft in the world's number two computer market and also curry favor with Beijing. Senior Dell Inc. and Oracle Corp. executives said the tie-up, which tacks Linux-based Oracle software on to Dell computer servers, would edge out competing platforms, but they declined to say how it would help them expand market share. | ||

Despite Beijing's encouragement, Linux-based personal computers are not popular in China now, accounting for less than one percent of the market.
"Linux adoption is increasing in China because the government is supporting it," said Loke Soon Choo, Oracle's Greater China regional managing director. "The fact that it is open-sourced also makes it more robust," he told Reuters after the launch in China's financial stronghold. Amazingly, the three sentences above appeared one right after the other in this article. lol Same Linux sh*t; different day! By the way, has Oracle reduced the cost of their outrageously expensive database software because it is running on Linux? Nooooooooo! |
