Ex-Microsofter Rick Belluzzo Prefers Linux

keird writes "I'm sure you all remember Belluzzo being pushed out of Microsoft earlier this year. ComputerWorld has a short, but interesting interview with him where he talks about why his new employer, Quantum uses Linux in their appliances." From reading the interview, Belluzzo seems to be pretty amicable to whatever will get the job done, and in this case, it's Linux.

Desperate Linux community

[Tomster]

Articles like this point out just how desperate the Linux community is for approval and validation. "Oooh look, an ex-Microsoftie is using Linux!! That must mean he thinks it's better!! We rock!!"

No. An employee of Microsoft, who may or may not have liked the company's software, is now working for another company, which happens to use Linux quite a bit. And he may or may not like the new company's software better. He'll use whatever gets the job done, be it Microsoft, Linux, or paper-and-pencil.

What are you saying? That MS does not bribe CEOs of corporations to use windows? If so you are sorely misinformed.

MS does indeed bribe CEOs and CIOs. Sometimes it's a yatch, sometimes it's a rolex, sometimes it's a free trip or two but MS knows how to spread the bribes.
