Microsoft Doesn’t Care About Destroying Linux | |

Everywhere I turn these days, I continue to hear how “Novell” sold Linux users down the river. And while I partially agree with this perspective, I do differ with those who say Xandros did the same thing. Xandros is simply looking to make sure that fluidity between the Linux desktop and Windows desktop is as smooth as possible. Heck, they did not even share which of these alleged patents were being violated whatsoever to the Linux company. Unfortunately, another company has made a deal with Microsoft, and it is not who you might expect either. | ||

the US corporate world will... continue to fall behind with desktop Linux technologies.
Haha... that's like saying the US is falling behind with ham radio technology. |

| bluvg: The US had better not be falling behind in ham radio technology! Have we stopped using tubes yet? |

| JBoss also has a deal with Microsoft. RedHat owns JBoss. |

| linux has started down the all-too-familiar path that many msft competitors travel. they are destroying themselves. |

"The commonwealth of Massachusetts has done a 180 degree turn and decided to support Microsoft's Office Open XML format in addition to the OASIS Open Document Format. The commonwealth added Microsoft's format, also known as Ecma-376 or Open XML, to the list of approved standards in the Massachusetts' ETRM (Enterprise Technical Reference Model), an architectural framework used to identify the standards, specifications and technologies that support Massachusett's computing environment." |

Linux server share grows and grows. Meanwhile, MS is pasting every Linux website in the world with "Get The FUD" ads. Sounds like whistling past the graveyard to me...
Funny how the apologist tune changes with the times... 1999 -> "Linux? Nobody uses that!" 2002 -> "Linux? Only geeks use that!" 2005 -> "Linux? They use that in our server room, but never on the desktop!" See a pattern here? |

| Latch... nah, it's been pretty consistent for many years now. "This is the year of desktop Linux!" Yeah, right. I was using Linux in college in back in the late 90s, and the tune among Linux advocates hasn't changed that much. |

| #8: In my experience, the only ones routinely talking about the Linux Year of the Desktop are journalists looking for an angle. Microsoft's monopoly wasn't built in a day, and Linux will take it's time maturing as well. Look where Linux was 10 years ago compared to now. What do you think will happen 10 years from now? Linux on the desktop is getting better & better. Microsoft fights hard against Linux, while Linux doesn't need to fight against MS. It just needs to be what it is and the rest speaks for itself. |

#10 Almost all of the shift to Linux development was for embedded devices and cellphones.
None of it was for desktop applications. |

latch&splenda - "Linux server share grows and grows"
o rly? Are you sure you understand what "share" means? Lets ask Netcraft... Market Share for Top Servers Across All Domains August 1995 - June 2007 http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2007/06/overallc.gif This post was edited by mooresa56 on Tuesday, July 03, 2007 at 18:16. |

| According to IDC, this [Q1 2007] was the first quarter since IDC began tracking Linux server spending in 1998 that Windows server revenue has grown faster than Linux server revenue. |

#12 And, it turns out, a lot of the drop in Apache market share was because a few large hosting companies stopped using Apache to host parked domains.
Which then made anyone with a brain realize most (if not all) of the Apache lead was parked domains. Apache - The webserver of choice for doing nothing. |
| #15 By 15406 (216.191.227.68) at 7/4/2007 12:20:09 PM |
| #12: I'm well aware of what 'share' means. Perhaps you could use a brush-up on the definition pf 'server', since you seem to be under the mistaken impression that 'server' means web server exclusively. |

lmao at latch, the follower of Lenin...
"confuse the vocabulary" So, lenin, err latch... where's your corresponding DATA. Or should we all just take your word for it? This post was edited by mooresa56 on Wednesday, July 04, 2007 at 17:21. |

#16: Do your own homework. I was merely pointing out your confusion in believing that server = web server.
|
| #18 By 3653 (68.52.143.149) at 7/6/2007 12:11:09 AM |
| I DID do my own homework, hence my citing of my source. You might do the same. It'll help you make a point. |
