The Curse of the Living Windows
,----[ Quote ]
| Fortunately, I had spent the last few months learning enough about Linux to
| begin my run for freedom from Windows already, so Ubuntu 9.04 was running
| smoothly on one of my two computers by the time DSL came to town. I knew that
| all I needed or wanted from an ISP was a connection to the internet -- any
| other services were of no interest.
|
| Of course, since this was a Windows ISP, there was nothing in their
| literature that suggested how to carry out the actual connection process
| other than "install the program from the CD, we will assimilate your computer
| and do the rest." I've learned to expect that, having endured the Driver
| Dramas of winmodem/linmodem on dialup, but since this is ADSL, I did need to
| find the magic numbers like IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server.
| That meant I had to call Technical Support.

| Steve has a surprising view of the computing universe to put Linux before
| Apple. Most certainly, Linux's larger server share puts it overall ahead of
| Mac OS. But Steve wasn't talking about server here, but Windows client. So
| why rank Apple behind Linux?

Microsoft and Its Three Biggest Threats
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft sees Linux as a much more significant competitor, even though its
| share of the desktop OS market is small. Here's why: "I think the dynamic
| with Linux is changing somewhat," Ballmer said at the meeting. "I assume
| we're going to see Android-based, Linux-based laptops, in addition to phones.
| We'll see Google more as a competitor in the desktop operating system
| business than we ever have before."
