,----[ Quote ]
| These remarks on their own were broad enough not to raise 
| eyebrows, but Sutor's next statement did: "I think making it a 
| complete drop-in replacement is a dead-end strategy," he said, 
| referring to Linux as a Windows replacement.

How Muppets learned to stop licensing and love the comm

,----[ Quote ]
| Two very different companies shared their success stories with 
| open source at LinuxCon in Portland, Oregon on Tuesday. One is 
| Sesame Workshop, a relatively small non-profit famous for 
| Sesame Street and other strains of educational muppetry. The 
| other, Sony Pictures Entertainment, the enormous for-profit 
| multinational that owns ancillary rights to your children's 
| souls as well as The Karate Kid's.
| 
| Sesame Workshop has only about 400 employees worldwide with 
| about 13 working IT, according to Noah Broadwater, vp of the 
| company's information services.

,----[ Quote ]
| Sutor drew up several possible futures for the Linux
| desktop in the years ahead, including Linux going away
| altogether, one distribution dominating Linux desktops,
| one distro dominating all desktops, Linux reaching
| parity with Microsoft and Apple, and desktop Linux
| disappearing altogether and making the whole issue
| moot.
