Is Linux Dead?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the dead-as-a-fox-baby dept.

TunkeyMicket writes "It appears MSNBC is reporting that Linux has failed as an operating system. By citing the large Linux hype as reason for Linux to be dominating the market, they draw the conclusion that the "open source" alternative has flopped as an operating system. They briefly mention the success of Linux in the server community, but really the article gives Linux as little credit as possible."

    And then the magical open source fairy will come and spite all of those capitalistic software companies for their evil practices of writing their own software and not giving it away for free. And we will all be happy and there won't be any more war or famine and no one will have to work and the RIAA will give music away for free.

    Or we could face reality.
