Re-Imagining Linux Platforms to Meet the Needs of Cloud Service Providers
"Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy recently lit a fire under
the Linux community."
"At a Gartner Group symposium, he claimed that Unix was the same
as Linux, and that Sun is the biggest and best Unix company ?
which, to McNealy, meant that Sun would be the "number one" Linux
company."
"Linux advocates were not pleased. And according to
published reports, an IBM director and Microsoft's CEO both felt
that McNealy was completely off-center, that McNealy's statement
meant that Sun just doesn't understand the open-source operating
system."
