Sun's COO Pretends Linux Belongs To Red Hat

An anonymous reader writes "Ever mindful of minting phrases likely to spread virally through the Net, reports JDJ, Jonathan Schwartz's blogging gifts were used Friday to assert that "it's increasingly evident the OS wars are down to three - Microsoft Windows, Sun's Solaris, and Red Hat's Linux." The article comes up with a new angle on one of the most-talked about members of the tech-exec digerati, saying of Schwartz: "He's the Winston Churchill of technology - he mobilizes the English language at least once a week, and sends it into battle against Sun's rivals." But Churchill would never have tried to pull a fast one by disingenuously describing Linux as "Red Hat's Linux" - the community will upbraid him, for certain. Churchill Schmurchill, Schwartz is a technology mischief-maker not a technology statesmen."

    Which is about as relevent as saying a cell phone maker was the single largest vendor of unix-based systems in the world if they shipped 12 million phones that run Linux. My left nut has more in common with unix than osx does.

    Well, the T Rex's forearms were a bit small to be effective for clawing prey. But its jaws were pretty darn nasty.
