First Orcale and now /this/? Boy, we should all be flattered. The top 4
software companies now rely on Linux.
1. Microsoft cannot help buying and collaborating with Open Source and Linux
companies (e.g. XenSource, Zend, Mozilla invitation).
2. At Oracle, Linux has a market share of 80%+.
3. Google (recently surpassed IBM) has been using GNU/Linux since day one.
4. IBM has reiterated its strong commitment and faith in Linux (LinuxWorld
2006).
While IBM, Google and Oracle use Linux to combat Microsoft, we now find that
Microsoft wishes to use Linux as well. It's like the whole world suddenly
revolves around Freedom down to the finest levels of granularity. Checkmate!
