Dvorak on How Microsoft Can Kill Linux

Posted by Zonk on from the i-miss-silicon-spin dept.

gewg_ writes "John C. Dvorak thinks he knows the way Redmond can kill Linux. Basing his premise on the relative dearth of device drivers available for Linux (compared to what is available for Windows), he sees an opportunity for the Borg to embrace and extinguish." From the article: "The immediate usefulness of Linux running under Windows is obvious. You can use all the Windows drivers for all the peripherals that don't run under Linux. Drivers have always been an issue with Linux as PC users have gotten spoiled with Windows driver support. Today's user wants to grab just about anything and not worry about installing it and making it work."

    . . . a man whose entire carreer is based off of being "the guy who misses the point".

    If this were the case, wouldn't everybody be running Apple Computers?
