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".

    He's sucking up to the very same buzzsaw that M$FT has been ripping everyone with, all along.

    "He also had praise for the new Microsoft security model.."

    Based upon what?

    "..dismissed the notion that Redmond was employing embrace and extend to its web services protocols.."

    Oh, yeah, right. M$FT has certainly changed it's tune...

    "..and put the message that the community should get over its beef with The Beast."

    uh.. well... Maybe he's willing to "get over it"

    It's plain he's intent on hopping into bed with Unca Bill: you can see that by the brown tones on Icaza's nose...

    The "joy" is gone? Not hardly. The joy has arrived. Now it's time for Linux to get down to business.

    The children had their run; now that all the IPO money has been frittered away, it is time to pay the bills.
    HP, Compaq, Sun, CA, Oracle, IBM, and friends are serioius about Linux and they are taking no prisoners.
    Linux is gaining momentum where it counts: with the grown-ups.
