Salient quotes:

Article “Bill Gates threatened by $free OS”

“Microsoft can meet themselves in the doorway [Norwegian
saying]. For it was just by distributing the web browser Internet
Explorer for free that the company gained control over the Internet
— inflicting injury on competitor Netscape.”

Article “Linux can be something for everyone”

“- In our company, two out of three IT engineers use Linux at
home. They adapt to Microsoft in working hours, but when they can
decide themselves, most are of the opinion that Linux is a better
OS than Windows, says Oracle Norway marketing boss Harald
Loevik.”

Lars Oftedal, Centre for Information Technology, University of
Oslo (after describing how easy it is to get user support over the
Internet): “The problem is that there is nobody to arrest if you
don’t get an answer [to a request for help on the Internet]”

Article “Operating systems” — a short glossary.
