Forbes on Linux

Posted by michael on from the jumping-on-the-bandwagon dept.

mvdwege writes "It appears that Forbes is doing a Linux Special. Lots of nice articles showing off the state of the art in Linux development today. It's nice to see Linux get some good mainstream press without hype or FUD. A very objective treatment that might definitely make some people think."

    It was quite interesting that Linux was getting some good press from a PHB type magazine. Hopefully this will make it easier for the IT departments to make Linux a real option, since it is the perceived quality that gets a project going, and let's face it, a lot of managers are going to equate free with a lack of quality.
    My Favourite quote from one of the articles was
    information technology executives say they are demanding that their technology providers have a comprehensive Linux strategy. Microsoft is the only major technology company without one
    I do disagree with what they are saying though, MSFT does have a Linux Strategy, but there strategy is to obliterate it.

    It's nice to see Linux get some good mainstream press without hype or FUD.

    And it would be nice to see a Linux or MS story not have posts using the term FUD - no-one else uses it you nerdy geeks - use proper words, its easy!

    Please, you should be able to post at least 10 times a day so we can have more links to goatse floating around the site?

    Well, fuckwit, you just proved his point. As he says, trolls will now post as AC's (as they can't post more than twice as their user). So next AC's will be outlawed. So whiny weasly ballbags such as yourself yon't be able to hide your username like you so obviously need to. You soft cunt.
