Comment Leading the way (Score 1) 629
"Linux is not leading anything, it is simply providing a 'free' operating system."
Other than a rather dynamic development community, I would have to agree. I don't really see Linux innovating at any level. The current focus seems to be getting the kernel up to snuff and one could argue that has always been it's "agenda" so to speak.
If all MS did was develop an OS we probably wouldn't know who they are anymore.
Or am I wrong? Does Linux make you fundamentally change the way you develop or deploy a solution and do it for the better? That, in the end, is sustainable competitive advantage that a low sticker price cannot provide.
