Linux 2.6.28-rc3
,----[ Quote ]
| Another week, another -rc.

| Unlike -rc2, this one isn't just "critical brown-paper-bag fixes", and is
| more in line with a normal -rc. Yeah, I was hoping for a nice calm week,
| and it really wasn't that bad, but it's also certainly not the small
| minimal kind of -rc that -rc2 was.

Linux is a platform, not an OS
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft, a staunch opponent of Linux, already understands this very
| vividly. They no longer see Windows as just an "operating system", but as
| an entire platform. They realize that the only way Windows has a prayer of
| surviving, especially in today's open source world, is if everything runs on
| Windows, including every FOSS program out there. They've even admitted that
| as much themselves, saying that they think that all open source should run on
| Windows.
|
| And Apple is no different, nor Sun, nor IBM. They see their respective
| operating systems as platforms, not OS's. Sure, IBM supports Linux, but they
| also support IBM Unix, and in both cases they see their respective operating
| systems as platforms onto which they place lots of other software. So
| ultimately one of the biggest failings of Linux marketing is that people are
| working too hard to sell the operating system side of it, but failing to sell
| the platform aspects of it.
