    If anyone doubts Linux' inroads into the corporate environment, just read today's release from HP. HP now says they have 2 BILLION in annual revenue attribuatable to Linux. http://biz.yahoo.com/rc/030121/tech_hewlettpackard _linux_1.html

  2. Re:Office productivity and visual basic. by finkployd · · Score: 5, Informative

    Before linux can EVER make it onto the desktop, somebody is going to have to come up with some type of scripting language besides C.

    I'm going off this assumption that this is either a joke or troll, but in case someone actually thinks this:

    (1) C is not a scripting language, never was, never will be.

    (2) Scripting languages available and commonly used on Linux are Perl, PHP, tcl, shell scripts (bash, tcsh, csh, zsh, et al), Python, Java (I kind of lump that in with scripting languages), and a bunch of others I am forgetting.

    If you specifically mean Visual Basic, no it does not exist for Linux. Clones of VB do but probably are not exactly the same.

  3. Tivoli is an update; Client for Notes IS new by GerardM · · Score: 4, Informative

    Tivoli already runs on Linux for quit some time. The importance of the news is in the widening of the support.

    Notes client will be introduced by IBM. This is really important news as it makes it not mandatory anymore to have Windows on the desktop.
