Why Linux will prevail

From a column at ZDNet: “The idea expressed in many articles — that GNU/Linux is good for servers but not for the desktop — is a joke. The fact is, Linux will prevail … Two paths are before us. One leads to increasing proprietary control, protectionist measures and legal threats, while the other leads to open source, freedom and accelerated innovation. I, of course, choose the latter because it is ‘win-win.’ Vital innovation, new markets and vastly improved customer service win the vote readily over the purveyors of proprietary hoarding.”
