"Besides, many Linux supporters are a bunch of potty-mouthed malcontents"
You mean like IBM and HP? And it seems to me, just about everything (not
just computer systems) has it share of "potty-mouthed malcontents" - rather
a strange premise to support or decry an OS (or anything, for that matter).
His argument seems to be based on an encounter a couple of years ago. More
bushwa than substance.
Though he does make a good point that the open source legal foundation has
yet to be adequately tested. SCO might acutally win in court, though they
have lost the technical battle!
(My opionion does necessarily reflect that of my management or anyone but
little ol' me.)

Title: Linux Is Not Ready For the Enterprise (Opinion)

Enderle has impressed me (slightly) over the years as being not the least
clueful of analysts (he says, perhaps damning with faint praise).
While I don't agree with his conclusion (or my email address would be
different!), a lot of what he says bears consideration.
