Google has an architectural problem. They have huge Linux farms. And Linux as
we know it is nowhere near ready for the enterprise. It does not have the
kind of architecture that would make it suitable for management in large
numbers. Actually, it has no architecture at all, it's all ad-hoc.
And that's a problem, a bigass problem. It's like Windows(R) in that
something that's based on not well thought-through arch, or lack thereof, can
never be good. It can look good, but looking good doesn't make it overall
good.
I'd like to have their problem, because they have the $$$s to solve it.
There is no site that takes more hits than google, IMO, and they can
sustain the worst days. They're doing something right.
I don't know what they'll use in the future, but know that they use Linux
today and are able to keep their site going and their stock price seems to
reflect that Google is a growth player on Wall Street.
