No Threat to Linux with Apple and Intel Deal

LnxPhreak writes "Gundeep Hora of CoolTechZone.com has a new editorial up that discusses why Apple and Intel's partnership is not a threat to Linux. The column weighs in on different points equally. From the article: 'However, that doesn't mean it's the end of Linux. In fact, it shouldn't even threaten Linux by any means. Linux has more than a few things that go in its favor, at least for the time being. The idea of open-source software is an amazing one. The fact that Linux isn't much of a commercialized operating system, and you can accomplish day-to-day tasks without too many hassles is an advantage in itself. The idea of running a system that costs absolutely nothing on the software side is a powerful one, and Windows and Mac OS X would have a difficult time competing against that.'"

  1. Mod moderator funny! by q.kontinuum · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Why is parvenu74 modded up and parent modded down? Ok, the text of parvenu74 is funny, it could be moderated up as funny. But moderating it insightful is ridiculus! It neither contains any information, nor does it show any insight. Is it possible to mod the moderators funny?
