ComputerWorld HK: Quick – when’s the last time silliness won a battle against Microsoft?

“I’m referring to the whole ridiculous Linux thing. I don’t mean
that Linux itself is ridiculous — obviously, the open source
operating system is a fine piece of work that really does appear to
be a viable alternative to Microsoft?s Windows NT in the
enterprise. I mean I’ve had it with the stupid penguin. I can’t
figure out why an operating system needs an adorable little cartoon
mascot.”

Complte
story.
