Column: Linux Is Winning
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux doesnât have a CEO. Consequently, thereâs
| no annual keynote hosted by a charismatic alpha
| male. But if it did, and if there were a
| conference covering the first half of this year,
| the first speech would start with three words:
| âLinux is winningâ.

The Linux Desktop isn't Dead, it's Pining
,----[ Quote ]
| I know it sounds crazy but the Linux Desktop
| isn't dead, it's just pining. It's pining for the
| correct platform--a tablet computer. And, I'm not
| referring to some cheap imitation tablet that
| will merely satisfy a few observers and nerdlets
| who use Linux. I'm thinking of a tablet computer
| for hardcore Linux moguls. You know, the kind of
| Linux person who is so into Linux that he tries
| to carry an egg on his feet through the winter.
| The kind of Linux fan who carries a wallet-sized
| photo of Linus Torvalds in her wallet. Linux
| pines for a true tablet platform that will do
| Linux justice and vice versa. Does one exist? Not
| yet.

Ballmer Still Thinks it is OK to Kill Competition
,----[ Quote ]
| After years of scrutiny by anti-
| competition police, Ballmer still doesnât
| get it:
|
| âWhen Mossberg asked why Microsoft had
| drastically lowered its price of
| Windows XP in reaction to netbook
| vendors having initially shipped units
| with Linux, Ballmer retreated by
| asking, âWhy should I give someone
| else an opportunity?â.â
|
| Itâs the law, Steve. Monopolies are
| required to give competitors
| opportunities.
|
| This exchange also answers the question
| why GNU/Linux has not taken a larger share
| of the desktop OS market.
