Re: Interesting Read
It's a nice article... but old news to those that are in the know. But I gotta ask, he refers to intel making chips for linux... What chips? I think he either made a publishing error and just misunderstood the facts. He also paints most, if not all, linux enthusiasts as being beat-nick like, dirty, etc. I take exception to that. I do my part for linux everyday I'm alive. I've handed out hundreds if not thousands of copies of linux to anyone and every one I meet through out my day and I have never met anyone that even closely resembles his description. :') I'm saying this, tongue in cheak... What I liked most about the article is the usage of honest facts... ie $100 million saved over 5 years... $250,000.00 to a 4000.00 box, etc... I wish there were more hooks in the article so I could do a little following up on what was written. However, a very nice read, one that I've printed and included in my linux handout. It'll warm the cockles of any linux beat-nick out here... Thanks for the URL. On Sun, 23 Feb 2003 15:09:50 +0800 M.W.

Re: Interesting Read
No doubt, not everyone likes all they read in the article. What I like about it though is the well-deserved recognition Linux is finally getting, albeit slowly and in some cases even begrudgingly. I remember a while ago I sent an email to Steve Wildstrom, a BusinessWeek technology editor, and kind of complained that BusinessWeek had never given Linux any recognition.Steve's reply was (I forget the exact words) something along the lines: well, Linux was great as a server software, but when its came to desktops and user applications, it fell short,etc. Well, that was about a year ago. Look what can happen in just one year! This is certainly a big boost to users like me who switched from windows to Linux for no reason other than disgust with Microsoft's dreadful near-monopoly and outright exploitation of the consumer.
