Crystal Ball Sunday #10: Linux Vendor Consolidation

18
Welcome to the 10th installment of the Crystal Ball Sunday series. This is an exciting time to be involved with Linux because the temperature is right for some Linux vendor consolidation. In my August 22nd post, Microsoft and Novell: Buying In or Selling Out, I subtly predicted that Microsoft would end up buying Novell due to its overwhelming and somewhat odd major investment in Novell.
My prediction hasn’t come true quite yet but on the horizon for 2009 you’ll see Linux company consolidation. I think several of the more popular distributions will be absorbed (assimilated) into the larger distributions.
