“The David and Goliath story of Linux versus Microsoft
Windows is a tale of two very different cultures.”
“Linux is everything Windows is not. Linux is simple and cheap,
and many computing engineers say it is more reliable than
crash-prone Windows. And where Windows is kept tightly under
Microsoft’s proprietary lock, Linux can be downloaded for free off
the Internet. Users are even allowed to change the code, a vision
of Utopia that can only bring sighs to the throat of any
anarchy-minded nerd.”
