Re-Imagining Linux Platforms to Meet the Needs of Cloud Service Providers
"Which major corporation is most in tune with the open
source movement?"
"Oddly enough, it's IBM--the former Evil Empire from before
Microsoft took over the role. Their pledge to put a billion dollars
into Linux this year reflects a bet-the-company strategic insight.
They're banking on Linux and open-source software to unify their
product line, revive sales of their mainframes, and make them the
world's biggest software integration and services provider. This
makes Sun Microsystems and Microsoft pretty damn nervous, and with
good reason."
