Something

After swilling some grog, Kari Laine belched this bit o' wisdom:

Linux movement have several obstacles and the least is not the cash
Microslop has in hands. It uses that many combined to dirty tricks to
keep the monopoly dominance and so be able to set the prices to almost
whatever it likes.

Personally I have felt that one problem with Linux is that there is not
a big org who does likewise techniques for the Linux. Linux Foundation
is about to be that actor - me thinks. I hope they don't take moral
highground, instead whatever goes

I remember an old DC comic, "Hawk and Dove" [1]. In one of the
episodes, Dove is trying to stop someone (Hawk or villian, I don't
recall). And he steadfastly refuses to use violence. After a struggle,
he manages to disable the opponent without violence, and without
injuring him.

The Mac heralds a major change in how people view and interact with
application programs. That’s why I’m so excited about it. There’s no
question that I’ll let my mom try it out.

Tell us that lie again where you personally spend "several thousand
euros for the software each year and to keep them current. Nowadays my
spending is something like 60% for the software that runs on Windows and
rest for the Linux side. On Linux side big part is the donations to
different projects."

I like the way Shuttleworth handles things with Ubuntu. While I do not like
the Unity that much, he pushes Linux forward and tries to make Ubuntu - and
really, the whole ecosystem - better. By doing this he is trying to get
desktop Linux to the point where it can truly be competitive.

Until Linux based OSs can offer a competitive product / environment to the
competition Linux really has little chance, even being free.

Linux has all bases covered except windopws desktop PC use.

Even that might soon be covered.
2500 commercial games are being ported to Linux by one
company alone in the mad panic to avoid financial crash
with the steady 10% per annum loss of windopws customers
to other desktops.
