“Developers may well be the next band of rogues to shake up
corporate IT departments by demanding Linux.”
“Particularly when mixed with the Java programming language,
Linux is emerging as a contender to win over the corporate
developers as a stable platform for building serious applications
that can run on multiple operating systems.”
“Although tools for Linux are few and programming talent
requirements are high, some developers say its flexibility and open
source heritage make it a better development platform than
Microsoft’s Windows NT.”
“Over the past three months, we’ve started moving more machines
to Linux for development, as opposed to Windows NT. It’s been an
extremely positive experience,” said Manu Kumar, CEO of
SneakerLabs, a developer of Web conferencing and presentation
applications in Pittsburgh.”
