HP: Linux ready for mission-critical apps

,----[ Quote ]
| On whether the availability of different flavors of Linux will affect its 
| adoption for mission-critical applications, Hergett said he did not think so. 
| 
| "In some ways it actually gives those decision makers more flexibility and 
| more choices to choose from," he explained, adding that Unix has several 
| iterations, too, and decision makers are "used to having that choice".

| By now it should be obvious to even the most casual industry observers
| that Linux operating systems - and open source-based software in general -
| have reached critical marketplace mass. Recent Linux deals and
| announcements by Oracle and Microsoft have only reinforced the "open
| source is enterprise-grade" message that IBM, Unisys and other "Master
| Brand" hardware, software and services vendors have been preaching for
| years. In short, open source, especially Linux, is becoming "legitimized"
| by the major vendors for enterprise environments, and user executives
| are more than happy to believe them.
