| If you own a TV, or have a friend who knows a thing or two about computers,
| you have probably heard about Linux. For those who haven’t, Linux is an
| open-source operating system (OS) and Microsoft Windows’ worst nightmare – by
| Microsoft’s own admission. Microsoft is not worried about Apple’s Mac OS for
| the same reason that you yourself aren’t currently running it. It may be
| awesome, but it’s just too expensive. You also might not be able to run your
| favourite “educational” applications on it (a.k.a. games) and, until
| recently, it couldn’t run on IBM PC compatible hardware. Linux, on the other
| hand, can run on pretty much anything. This includes everything from your
| beloved Mac
| hardware and handheld devices to your grandma’s old 386 computer and
| PlayStation 3 (or PS2). As a matter of fact, it might even be running your
| $30 router at home – not to mention most of the websites you visited today,
| if not all.

Enterprise clueless, employees not so much.

| I just picked it up last Monday, and I told the girl at Kinko's that my boss
| was going to be tickled pink when he saw it. She said she thought it looked
| really good for something produced "in house", and seemed quite surprised
| when I told her I made it on a Linux computer running nothing but Open Source
| software.

| If I ask you who is Microsoft's biggest competitor now, who would it be?

| Ballmer: Open...Linux. I don't want to say open source. Linux, certainly have
| to go with that.
