The War Is Over, and Linux Has Won

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the victory dept.

xtaski writes "Dana Blankenhorn bluntly states a reality that many have known: 'The war is over and Linux won'. With Oracle and Microsoft putting Linux in the spotlight and positioning themselves to grow with Linux. 'A new report shows that 83% of companies expect to support new workloads on Linux against 23% for Windows. ... Over two-thirds of the respondents said they will increase their use of Linux in the next year, and almost no one said the opposite.'"

    ... that make me understand why Slashdot continues to lose market share to Digg. Yeah, Digg has horribly inaccurate stories, too, but at least there they are quickly lost to the void because no one "diggs" them. Here, they go straight to the front page. And there's no way to moderate the story as flamebait+troll+ignorant, except for tags, which are meaningless. Would it be so hard to let users moderate stories?
