“The value proposition today for Linux consumers is stronger
than it was yesterday, and it will be even stronger tomorrow. This
is constantly and unalterably true because Linux is consumer-built.
The more it’s used, the more it’s improved. The more consumers
there are who use Linux, the faster it improves; the more Linux
improves, the faster consumers adopt it. This is positive feedback;
this is exponential growth.”
“Linux isn’t a product. Linux is an organic part of a software
ecosystem. The Microsoft “long-term development road map” had
everyone using MSN in the year 2000. Then the ecosystem produced
CERN httpd and NCSA mosaic, and we all know what happened
next.”
