Microsoft's Chief Linux Strategist Interviewed

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the shape-of-things-to-come dept.

sl0wp0is0n writes "Computerworld has published an interview with Microsoft's chief Linux strategist, Martin Taylor. It's interesting to find out that Microsoft thinks and predicts Novell (SuSE) will be the dominant Linux distribution they'll have to compete against. The interview also has Taylor talking about indemnification, IBM and his realization that customers generally adopt Linux to get a better TCO than Unix, not Windows."

    I read the title as "An interview with Linux's chief strategist". And I was like, who is that? Linus Torvalds? :-)
