"They really narrowed the gap. They can ride on some of the success that the Linux and open source world has been having in the server room because Mac OS X is largely a BSD variant which is from the Linux family,"

Hmm, don't let the BSD guys here you say that Theo may have a fit.

That statement by Vince Londini, is just yet further proof of the lack of research that analysts actually perform before publishing a statement.

Off topic but if you ask me Theo'd be perfectly justified in throwing a fit about a statement as ignorant as that. Simply put, the BSD family is not Linux. They had completely different beginnings and, in case you hadn't noticed, are very different at the kernel level. They have similar userlands, and the various BSDs and even OS X use some GNU components. But to say that BSD is from the Linux family is a complete and utter falsehood. If you had said it was from the Opensource UNIX family or some such you would be absolutely correct. Remember Linux != UNIX.
In any case, this article isn't really current news, I saw a similar article a few months ago.

CIO magazine? You linked to an article from CIO magazine? That rag is executive pissoire reading material. Hardly informative or authoritative.

Why is there no thumb down button for articles?
