Not using desktop Linux? You're wasting your money
,----[ Quote ]
| And that's not the only place where desktop
| Linux makes sense. If you get right down to
| it, there are many instances where the only
| requirements of the desktop are to act as a
| portal to a Web-based application and possibly
| run an email client. With the push toward Web-
| based internal apps, there's little reason to
| require Windows at all. Heck, there's almost
| no requirement for a desktop or the ability to
| run anything other than a compatible browser.

Microsoft sells software like its 1984
,----[ Quote ]
| The software store I describe is not science
| fiction. This is reality for Apple "App Store"
| for Ipad/Iphone, the "Ubuntu Software Center" for
| Canonical's Linux-based desktop operating system,
| the Google "Android Market" for Android Linux-
| based phones, and Palm "PreWare" for WebOS Linux-
| based phones.
|
| Ladies and Gentelmen, the platform-delivered
| software store is how distributed in the 21st
| century. Unfortunately for Microsoft, no such
| thing exists for Windows.

Making money on open source
,----[ Quote ]
| The market will rise this morning, writes Erik Sherman over at BNET, because
| IBM is reporting strong earnings.
|
| So much for our little talk about making money on open source.
|
| IBM has used Linux to unify its product lines, it has used open source to
| deliver services, and it has continued to get top dollar for the time of its
| people despite their using open source tools.
