[News] Without Realising It, Everybody Depends on Linux

Everyone uses Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Let me see, Sony, the largest consumer electronics company on the
| planet, uses Linux for its products and its movies. IBM (remember
| them? the monster from which a little company called Lexmark sprang?)
| not only uses it but considers it so valuable that it warrants
| betting corporate reputation, all software products and uncounted
| hundreds of millions of dollars (perhaps billions) defending.
| NASA and the European Space Agency depend on it. The U.S.
| Department of Defense says its ability to function would be
| dangerously hampered if they couldn?t use F/OSS and the
| centerpiece in that usage is Linux. Google, of course, is the
| world's largest Linux installation.
