“Sergey Brin and Larry Page were a couple of doctoral students
in computer science at Stanford University when they built their
Internet startup company around Linux. Brin and Page are throwing
themselves into what would appear to be the already overcrowded
market for Internet search engines. Their engine and their company
are both called Google and quite purposefully sit on top of Linux
rather than some other variant of Unix or Microsoft’s Windows NT.
So Google is hot.”
“These fresh-faced kids from Stanford have a good idea that’s
implemented well.”
