“I view Linux as something that’s not Microsoft-a backlash
against Microsoft, no more and no less. I don’t think it will be
very successful in the long run. I’ve looked at the source and
there are pieces that are good and pieces that are not. A whole
bunch of random people have contributed to this source, and the
quality varies drastically.
“My experience and some of my friends’ experience is that Linux
is quite unreliable. Microsoft is really unreliable but Linux is
worse. In a non-PC environment, it just won’t hold up. If you’re
using it on a single box, that’s one thing. But if you want to use
Linux in firewalls, gateways, embedded systems, and so on, it has a
long way to go.”
