“Operating system threatens Microsoft.”
“Linux is emerging as a realistic threat to Microsoft and its
various operating systems. And this technology, which essentially
runs a computer or a server, appears to be everything Microsoft
isn’t.”
“Today there are certain markets where a Linux platform is a
requirement.”
“Internet businesses, and especially e-commerce sites, have been
some of the first to latch on to Linux. Internet pioneers including
Amazon.com and EToys are Linux enthusiasts, as is the Denver-based
online educator, Ecollege. The technology’s stability, scalability
and price make it ideal for online use, said Jon Dobrin, Chief
Technology Officer at Ecollege.”
