  Behind the scenes in Microsoft's war against Linux
Time: 23:57 EST/04:57 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Even as Microsoft has slipped into the mainstream of open source by embedding it in its products and adopting open-source strategies for services such as customer relationship management, it continues its subversive fight against Linux.

Linux is different, you see. Open source, as Microsoft is starting to recognize, is just another part of its ecosystem, one that it must support, if it wants Windows to continue to be a first-class computing citizen.

The open-source operating system, however, is competition--Microsoft's top competition, if CEO Steve Ballmer's words are to be taken at face value.

Meanwhile, Linux grows year after year. Looks like Microsoft modeled their war after the War on Drugs and the War on Terror.

Where is this growth you are seeing - certainly not the desktop? If you are talking servers, I see Windows Server usage growing as well.

Then why is MS focusing more on it? To waste time and money?

#2: Servers, for sure. I'm also sure that Windows is growing, but this article is about Microsoft's attempts to kill Linux. I simply related that goal to the other wars on nouns to extrapolate the probable outcome.

I just read the linked article and it seems to have more to do with MS screwing over its own partners than it does with fighting Linux. Looks like MS has realized that it won't cow any of the big Linux companies (other than Novell) with their bogus IP claims, so now they'll just sue their own partners. Nice. I'm not quite sure what that has to do with Linux, though.

The war is between IBM's AIX, HP's HP-UX, Sun Microsystems Unix and Linux. The three vendors were charging thousands of dollars of year for support plus the thousands for the initial price of the OS. Linux came along as a more reasonably priced alternative that still supported thousands of applications that were written to run on *nix. Fifteen years later the installed base of the above vendor's OSs are nearly non existent.

Meanwhile, a lot of those applications were re written to run on Windows and Windows server flourished. Windows continues to take a higher and higher percentage share of the total installed OS server pie.

Linux has managed all by itself to commit suicide by failing to foster a robust development community (Latch - this means producing applications that people actually want to use and will prove it by buying them) and never bothering to shore up its fractured state - numerous version/flavors of the nearly, but not quite the same thing. Linux' war is with itself.
