Microsoft stands firm in the 'great Linux debate' | |
|
||
| Time: 10:43 EST/15:43 GMT | News Source: ZDNet UK | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

The software giant ventured into hostile territory on Wednesday to argue its case during a live debate over the future of the Linux desktop. HP, Red Hat, Novell and Sun talking about open-source and Linux at this year's LinuxExpo -- that's not news. But Microsoft joining in -- now that's news. Microsoft UK's national systems engineer Bradley Tipp braved the Linux zealots to argue Redmond's corner at the London event. Questions from the audience ranged from "why is it so difficult to buy a laptop that's not preloaded with Windows?" to the wider implications of open-source software for the technology industry as a whole. | ||
