The Year Of The Linuxâ Everything Else
,----[ Quote ]
| Now imagine what it would do for Linux if
| Appleâs products worked perfectly with it.
| Thatâs never going to happen of course (not
| if Apple can help it, anyway), but another
| important shift is coming. Linux is becoming
| the king of the appliance world and thatâs a
| really big thing. Android and MeeGo are
| changing the scene. The growth in Androidâs
| market share has been impressive and is only
| set to rise. Nokia just announced that they
| will drop Symbian for MeeGo on their high-end
| smartphones phones. I mean does anyone even
| realise how amazing it is that one can go to
| any retailer and buy a Linux powered phone?
| What these products have done, is turn Linux
| into a truly wonderful, sexy, easy-to-use
| appliance and itâs only going to get better
| from here.
|
| Itâs not just phones. Consumers can also buy
| (or will be able to soon) Linux based:
|
| * ARM netbooks
| * cars
| * eBook readers
| * GPS units
| * media hubs
| * mini computers
| * music players
| * network attached storage
| * projectors
| * media centers
| * personal internet viewers
| * routers
| * tablets
| * televisions
| * set-top boxes
| * âtraditionalâ phones
| * watches

Editor's Note: When Will it Really Be the Year of Linux?
,----[ Quote ]
| It already is. It already has been. It will continue for the forseeable
| future.
|
| My scorn for lazy tech reporters who have made an industry out of "This is
| the year of Linux!/ No it isn't, stupid hippies!" is no secret. In fact I
| could make my own little industry out of scorning lazy, useless, content-free
| tech reporting, except that complaining all the time is dull and annoying. It
| gripes me greatly that this grand bully pulpit of online publishing, where a
| single person has the potential to reach the entire world, is wasted on 90%
| dreck. But then Theodore Sturgeon said that ninety percent of everything is
| crap, so I guess that's just the way humanity operates.

| "Forty percent of servers run Windows, 60 percent run Linux," he said. "How
| are we doing? Forty is less than 60, so I don't like it. ... We have some
| work to do."
