A Linux User At MacWorld

Posted by timothy on Thursday January 10, 2002 @10:45PM from the interesting-futures-assembling-themselves dept.

usermilk writes "Linux Journal just posted a pretty cool article, A Penguin Angle on the Ox: Day One at Macworld. It features a Linux user's perspective on MacWorld, OS X, Darwin, and how all these things play together. Most interestingly, he comments on the large number of open-source-Unix bigwigs who are now on Apple's payroll. There's also a pretty concise description of the difference between Apple building off of BSD compared to Microsoft trying to also reap the benefits of open source." Doc Searls' perspective makes a great companion to the report from the floor (and part II) that chrisd posted.

They won't make any inroads until they support x86, which, considering they make their money on hardware, ain't gonna happen.

It makes Duck Tales look serious.
