Ex-Microsofter Rick Belluzzo Prefers Linux

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the taking-the-os-challenge dept.

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.

    It's not the interview. I hit 'stop' before it started loading the .jpg, but I think I can guess what it was.

    Do the editors read the stories? Nice try.

    Come on, Rick... You can pronounce it... GNU! GNU! GNU!...

    It would be a great leap for mankind if ex-MS employee calls the OS GNU/Linux.

    Speanking of MS, does anyone know where I can DL that one video of BillyG and a few other folks at some press conference (or whatever it was) where this one guy makes a joke about BillyG making CTRL+ALT+DEL popular? I know it was posted here a while back, and I've googled for it, but I can't find it. Anyone know where it is?

    (Yes, I'm using my +2 (a rare occasion) so more people can see this honest question. Also, yea, I know, I'll get modded down, I've been capped for a over a year, so...)

    I'm riding along an early post to get an answer:

    Are there 3rd party antivirus solutions for Quantum Snap file servers?

    Thanks.
