Linux Put yourself in his/her shoes. You're a budding young technical writer and the one word you hear popping up in almost every tech-related conversation is, you guessed it, Linux. Now look in the mirror and try to tell yourself you're more than a writer. After all, you write about technology because it not only interests you, but you're accurate and fair enough to tell it like it is. Maybe not.

Yes, It's Linux Vs Windows
by linux_baby on Wed 16th Apr 2003 21:21 UTC


I don't know why anyone would want to "tear down microsoft". MS is a business, hiring thousands of people, and innovating on a lot of fronts. I have no desire to see them die.

But ..and please get this .. COMPETITION IS GOOD. A world in which everybody uses a Windows desktop is NOT good, at all. Such a world would be no better than a world in which you could buy computers from on Dell, or databases from only Oracle. This would be true, even if MS were a benevolent company, which it definitely is not. So, finding alternatives and making sure MS doesn't dominate the entire computing landscape is important.
