IBM? Don't make me laugh. These idiots still think SNA and mainframes
are a pretty good idea. The last time they did anything innovative
(outside of their research lab, which is darn good) it involved
punched cards. They haven't been a significant factor in computing
in 25 years.
What the pundits Don't Get, is that Linux is NOT going to succeed
because of corporate momentum. It's going to succeed in *spite*
of corporate momentum. It's in almost the same state now as Unix
was 15 years ago: supposedly too technical, too complex, but vastly
superior to anything else available. (And oh, by the way, it's
not going to turn into a serious challenger to Windows NT. That
would be a giant step backwards for Linux, which is years ahead
and pulling away.)
Remember the saying, "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station
wagon full of tapes"? Well, never underestimate the power of a million
Micro$oft-hating hackers.
I hope Gates is losing sleep over this.
