Businessweek Covers Linuxworld

MadFarmAnimalz writes "BusinessWeek has coverage of Linuxworld up, and it makes interesting reading in places. Amongst things touched upon are the open-source business model, how vendors will be tempted into locking in customers into their offerings, and other things." I'll be out there tomorrow for the Golden Penguin Bowl, as well as judging exhibitors. Busy day.

You seem quite ignorant. Let me inform you.

• "Apple chose BSD over Linux"
• 
  
  Wrong. Apple chose BSD over GPL. OSX is OSX. not BSD, not Linux.. it could only be considered a Unix. They chose the BSD license because it is less restrictive. Mod -1 WRONG
  
  
• "LNUX is worth a few pennies and in danger of being de-listed off the NASDAQ stock exchange"
  
  So? I fail to see how this has anything to do with Linux. VA Software !=Linux, and asserting that it does is idiocy. Mod -1 OFFTOPIC
  
  
• "MCSEs are getting more jobs than Linux sysadmins these days"
  
  Perhaps in number, considering the multitude of mcse's, it's not suprising that some of them find work. In reality, however, this statement is ridiculous and uninformed. The average RHCE makes twice as much as the average MCSE. It's a fact. Mod -1 WRONG
  
  
• "Apple chose Trolltech/KDE over the Gecko/Linux renderer"
  Gecko/Linux eh? That's pretty stupid. Gecko is independent of Linux. This is about as stupid as saying apple chose BSD over Linux. Mod -1 WRONG
  
  
• "OS X already won. Any geek or scientist worth their salt who wants a UNIX home computer already has an iBook or a G4."
• 
  
  OSX has already won what? Nothing. Only Mac users use OSX. The statement about any geek or scientist having mac hardware is just ridiculous ranting, PC architecture dominates the market and takes an equal percentage of geeks and scientists and everyone else with it. If anything, OSX has lost because it is an apple product, and apple has been dying since 1984.Mod -1 INANE RANT
  
  So tell me now, how is it that you don't deserve to be modded out of existence? Every single one of your points was either completely in err or misleading. Putting your post in an unordered list won't get you a +5 Informative if your content is crap, which it was.
