Does Linux need to win?
Friday, September 21st, 2007This InformationWeek Article makes a very good point about Linux and success. Many people seem to believe that in order for Linux to “win” or “succeed” it needs to “beat” Windows and OS X, but does it? Has Linux not yet succeeded? It sure does not look that way.
I agree with the article that Linux does not need to “beat” Windows. I just need to be the best solution out there for some people. Also, how do we know that if Linux was put under the same amount of strain hackers put on Windows it would remain virus-free? I am not saying that Linux is in-secure or that Windows is, I am just saying that it is incredibly hard to prevent hackers once they decide that want to do something.
