Google: Android won't suffer from incompatibility
,----[ Quote ]
| Google's Android team isn't worried about wireless carriers building Android
| distributions that are incompatible with one another, Google developer Dan
| Morrill said Wednesday at the O'Reilly ETech conference on emerging
| technology in San Diego. He also said security problems on Android-powered
| smartphones will be minor compared to the potential benefits.

Hamlet on Linux vs. Windows Server 2008
,----[ Quote ]
| We received several responses, including one from Steve Dasey in the UK who
| asks the immortal question, to be or not to be… proprietary:
|
| Surely that is the question
| Whether it is nobler to pay for support on an open source OS or for a
| proprietary OS.
|
| Are either then free ?
| How viable is it to run mission critical applications on a non
| commercially supported OS.
| Are there price differences? - of course
| Are there advantages to both of course
| But the TCO is about a lot more than the cost of purchasing the boxed
| product.
|
| I am pro choice, pro Linux, pro open source, but commercially apples need
| to be likened to apples

Microsoft: We're like Linux. We're open something. We even have some cartoons
