Open Voices: Mark Shuttleworth
,----[ Quote ]
| Mark Shuttleworth: Some folks believe that Linux can replace Windows as we
| know and love it. I suspect that, in fact, the biggest threat to Microsoft
| comes not from another platform which is sort of doing exactly what their
| platform does, but instead it comes from a big shift in the way people try to
| achieve their goals or the way people use technology.
|
| And we see that already, I think, in the battle that emerged between
| Microsoft and Google. I do think Microsoft actually has the upper hand in
| that battle from a fundamental who’s-got-what-cards-up-their-sleeves
| perspective. It is still Microsoft’s game to lose. Google has played a
| spectacularly good game, but they are still playing from a relatively weak
| position.

| Adobe Systems is working to deliver all of its software via the Web as a
