Rediff: I fear a world that operates on Linux alone - John Maddog Hall

[ Thanks to S.Ramaswamy for this link. ]

"Why do you think people opt for Linux over the Windows operating system?"

"Another reason why Linux is recommended is because it is a very flexible operating system. Whether you are a manufacturer or an end user -- updating the system or customising it is easy and can be done in-house, which is not the case with Windows...."

"Do you see a world operating on Linux alone?"

"I fear a world that operates on Linux alone or a world that operates on Windows alone. A fair world is the one that has competition. And that is what I see."
