The Economist on The Rise of Linux

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the bandwagon-still-rolling dept.

nickco3 writes "The Economist is telling the business world that Linux is a worthy adversay to Windows and Unix. It is free, runs on almost any hardware, and generally more secure than Windows As result it is dividing the industry into winners that offer Linux (e.g. IBM and HP), and losers that don't, (e.g. Microsoft). Sun is probably doomed."

    Linux is nowhere near Redmond! They are not even within 100 miles. My feelings are the same -- we will embrace and extend all infidels!
