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."

    You put shit onto Linux credibility by constantly comparing it to inferior OS'. What about comparsions between different Linux Kernel versions. That would make more sense than these pathetic and obvious Linux/Windows, Linux/Solaris and Linux/whatever comparsions.

    Fuck, the whole world is digged in Linux so why do you keep comparing it with other so called OS'?
