EDS' Secret Love For Linux Laid Bare

Posted by Zonk on from the wearing-flip-flops dept.

Ashcrow writes "'Only a day after flaming open source as insecure, unscalable and unfit for Australian consumption in its Agility Alliance, services vendor EDS has revealed it really does have a soft spot for the penguin deep in its heart.' Apparently the 'Linux environment provides a level of security and stability unavailable elsewhere' which differs from that they had said earlier."

    EDS is a consulting firm. They sell "billable hours." If those billable hours result in an accurate study or a system that works it is strictly because the individuals whose hours were billed happen to do a good job.

    i) EDS are a fucking joke. Check their track record on UK Government projects if you don't believe me.

    ii) anyone who thinks linux offers security and stability unavailable elsewhere has never seen Unix before.
