Server Makers Push Linux

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the thats-a-huge-shocker dept.

Rob writes "The bi-annual LinuxWorld trade show is under way this week in San Francisco, and once again the major platform makers are swearing their fealty to Linux and trying to figure out any angle they can to use Linux as a lever to wrest sales away from their competition and money out of their customer bases. The Linux market has largely proven itself (even if it is still dwarfed by Windows and Unix), and now the major server makers are getting down to the brass tacks of marketing as well as broadening and deepening their support of Linux on their platforms." Also FYI, I will be attending the Slashdot BOF session on Wednesday and answering questions. I'm hoping to be able to show people a good demo of Slashdot in CSS!

    "swearing their fealty to Linux"

    With highbrow language like that, Linux is going to acquire a reputation as the OS of snobs. That's not good.

    I guess swearing fealty is better than opening a sealed OEM package though, you retain more of your rights.

    First Microsoft switches the XBox to PowerPC chips.

    Then Apple switches to Intel processors.

    Next, Apple comes out with a multi-button mouse.

    Now you're trying to tell me Slashdot is FINALLY switching to CSS?
