“Linux now has enough stature to be a Microsoft target”
“You couldn’t miss the mutual disdain as several Microsoft Corp.
managers faced off with several members of the loose-knit but
increasingly effective community that has been pushing the
GNU/Linux operating system, usually known as just plain Linux, as a
competitor to Microsoft’s Windows NT. They were discussing a
battery of tests, known as benchmarks, to which both operating
systems would be subjected in the next few days.”
“While this confrontation may have limited meaning as a
real-world battle of technologies — benchmarks have well-known
limitations — it’s another milestone in the progress of a powerful
movement. The real battle for technology users’ hearts and minds,
never mind wallets, has only begun.”
