Most of this paragraph was building up to a valid point, but the
ending kind of ruined it for me :) You talk about business needs,
but suddenly all that doesn't matter since Linux is hipper anyway.
Is that what decision makers are paid for these days? And I've
heard the "you can't go wrong with IBM" mantra, but it's the first
time I hear of Linux as a safe bet. Not possessing any real data I
can't disagree here, but it sounds a bit depressing.
He's pointing out how the rest of the universe outside of Sun sees
Linux. I can't say I disagree with him on his point. Not that *I
personally* see Linux as a safe bet, but that decision makers
definitely do. The tech press (which lots of CIOs read) portrays
Linux in a good light to the IT world, that's for sure.
