Opinion: Death knell heard for Microsoft and really all proprietary efforts
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux has become mature, open-source has proven it can be a viable solution
| for businesses, and that the expenses involved in applying their own personal
| paid developer staff toward efforts which ultimately are given away for free,
| in the long haul are actually far more cost effective than paying
| continuously for proprietary access to systems, such as those provided for by
| Microsoft and Windows-based products.
|
| The future is most assuredly open-source, which means various forms of Linux
| for mobile devices, from handhelds to netbooks to notebooks, even on to
| desktops and servers. And prior to this recent announcement by Intel that
| they’ve signed up with Nokia to deliver Atom-based x86 CPUs for use in their
| mobile smartphones, I would’ve said that the future was entirely ARM-based.
|
| I still believe the future will be ARM-based ultimately, but I think Intel’s
| intrusion into those roadmaps may push it out a bit.

The weaknesses and the strengths of computer networking derive from the same
feature: it is easy to send messages to anyone who has access to the network.
