“In the early days of Linux, analysts were spouting all kinds of
nonsense about Linux. It was pretty clear that folks from firms
like Forrester and Gartner weren’t clued in entirely about what
Linux is, how open source works, nor did they have any vision for
the future.But after 20 years, I figured that most analysts with a major
firm like Forrester would know better than writing silly posts that
say mobile has killed Linux’s hopes for world domination.
Unfortunately not.
