“Do you suppose David taunted Goliath before he hurled that
rock? That’s the rough equivalent of what Linux creator Linus
Torvalds did at Spring Comdex yesterday when he predicted his
maverick operating system will crush Microsoft.”
“Will that be enough for the open source OS to clobber Windows?
Truth is, the job just got harder. One thing that really motivates
Microsoft is competition. And with his “we will crush them”
remarks, Linus Torvalds threw down the gauntlet. The same way
Netscape did when it boasted its browser would crush Microsoft. The
same way Sun did when it said Java would stomp Windows. The same
way Lotus did when it said Notes would trample Exchange.”
