Cringely's 2004 Predictions

Posted by michael on from the talking-head dept.

somethinghollow writes "Cringely's 2004 Predictions are out, and he makes a very interesting claim concerning Linux: 'The SCO debacle has created a crisis within the Linux community. They pretend that it hasn't, but it has. This will come to a head in 2004 with either the development of a new organizational structure for Linux or the start of its demise.

    I hope he is right. I fucking hate all you hypocritical, self-righteous assholes. I desperately want to see Linux dead in the workplace. If you guys want to continue it as "warez", that is fine.

    Why do I hate it? Because you fucking zealots recommend free software for everything, whether it is called for or not. Free, open source software is the answer to everything. You guys remind me of reformed smokers, only you're more annoying.

    So, yes, lets ring the death knell for Linux in the corporate environment. What a happy day that will be.
