Reflections on Open Source Commerce, Pt. 1
,----[ Quote ]
| The release of Microsoft Vista has shown that negative market forces can hold
| back even the heavy-weights of the IT game. A bad move, whether real or
| imagined can significantly alter the course of events. Bad press, or news of
| potential litigation can really place a damper on a product launch. Everyone
| who brings a product or service to market is subject to market forces that
| may exert a control that goes beyond that expected.

| Analysts note that Linux vendors are traditionally present on the mobile
| device market. According to forecasts the OS might become the leader in
| the segment accounting for 40% of it by 2010. ?Currently the share of
| mobile devices with Linux OS is not big in Russia as compared to other
| countries, such as China, for instance. However, the producer's policy,
| Nokia in particular testifies to the fact the situation is changing
