Revenge of the Nerds
,----[ Quote ]
| Robert Young’s message is about how Red Hat competed with Microsoft by
| offering something Microsoft was not prepared to offer – free software. Red
| Hat changed the rules of the game and generates over $600 million a year in
| revenue.
|
| With the rise of open source in the embedded software industry and the ease
| that individuals can collaborate using social networking tools, we are
| standing at a unique point in time. A time where Wind River has lost its
| ability to control access to software, and where collaborating with a
| developer in China is as easy as popping your head over the cubicle
| partition. A time where we can eliminate the pay cheque for middle men like
| Ken Klein. A time where our future security will depend on ourselves, and the
| value that we create along with our peers. A time where we can change the
| rules of the game to favor our strengths, and compete with Wind River, even
| when it is backed by the resources, the distribution channels, and the R&D
| resources of Intel.
