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.
