Bob Muglia on Longhorn Server, Linux and Blackcomb

Posted by CowboyNeal on Thursday May 20, 2004 @08:53PM from the up-close-and-personal dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In a wide-ranging interview, Microsoft's senior VP Bob Muglia talks about the work involved in getting Longhorn Server out by 2007. He also gives the lowdown on the next major release of Windows Server, code-named Blackcomb. 'If Indigo (a major feature of Longhorn) took four years to develop, some major infrastructure things inside Blackcomb will also take four years to develop,' Muglia said. On competition from Linux, he said: 'When I think of Linux, I don't think about it as our competitor. I think about Linux as a technology that is used by our competitors to build competitive offerings.' Very different from what Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates have been saying but Muglia says he's trying to teach them a thing or two."

I agree completely, Microsoft is no competition for Linux and shall fall before Tux's might.

Quite a lot of people still think that .NET is some sort of evil spyware application/privacy invasion THING.
