LinuxWorld: Business, Business and More Business

Posted by michael on from the no-match-for-the-power-of-the-dark-side dept.

Clarkson University wins a server from IBM. Sun is bringing embedded Linux to its UltraSparc IIe processors. Wired has an overview of LinuxWorld, talking about how it's all business and the joy is gone; and so does Internet.com; and so does Newsforge, which also has a story about LinuxWorld in Paris. The Register has a lengthy interview with Miguel de Icaza, in which he notes "Gnome 4.0 should be based on .NET".

    I think I'd distance myself from GNOME now just because Miguel is a two faced jerk.

    The whole reason for GNOME's existence was to fight the 'commercialization' of KDE for using Qt. Now GNOME wants me to buddy up to MS because it's development tools are 'cool'??

    Isn't he saying in a round about way that free software is a dead end and can not produce useful tools without the assistance of a multi-billion dollar monopoly?

    Why hasn't the GNOME Council, or whatever super hero wannabe tag they gave themselves pitch him on his ass for abandoning their friggen principles?

    Now isn't that irony? GNOME started because KDE's license was not pure, and look who's doing the big Sell Out [tm].

    any terms except total, utter physical destruction of the company

    Only because that's the only way Microsoft knows.

    Microsoft has shown over time that there is absolutely no reason to trust them EVER, with ANYTHING.
