Google and the Future of Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| If I said Google's been getting a lot of 
| press lately, that wouldn't mean much.  
| Google always seems to get a lot of press.  
| It could be my imagination, of course, but it 
| really feels like there's been an uptick of 
| chatter about Google these days.  Motorola's 
| Droid was released, running Google's Android 
| OS.  Google unleashed a new programming 
| language called "Go" on the world.  Then 
| there was also the excitement over the Chrome 
| OS that's in development.  I'm pretty sure it 
| isn't my imagination.  In the midst of all 
| this Robert Strohmeyer suggested that the 
| future of Linux is Google.  Hmmm...maybe, but 
| I'm not so sure.

The Power of Perception

| A campaign featuring Jerry Seinfeld may well succeed in changing this and
| convincing consumers to run Vista. But will it change the perceptions of IT
| professionals in large organizations? I wouldn't bet against it. We all like
| to think we are rational agents, but in reality we are all still susceptible
| to advertising â even Microsoft's.

| Let's take a look at the Linux market. Linux has many things going for it,
| yet it makes up just 13.4 percent of total server revenue. (Don't forget,
| many servers run Linux but don't generate revenue for vendors.)
