According to Linus, Linux Is "Bloated" 639

Posted by timothy on Tuesday September 22, 2009 @08:53AM from the he-was-there-when-it-happened dept.

mjasay writes "Linus Torvalds, founder of the Linux kernel, made a somewhat surprising comment at LinuxCon in Portland, Ore., on Monday: 'Linux is bloated.' While the open-source community has long pointed the finger at Microsoft's Windows as bloated, it appears that with success has come added heft, heft that makes Linux 'huge and scary now,' according to Torvalds." TuxRadar provides a small capsule of his remarks as well, as does The Register.

Todays TCO comparisons are useful only to cloud comsumers mind. There should be a better and preferably an objective way of comparing OS costs. Maybe when OpenSource solutions become much more mainstream, a way to compare will be found. But till that time the company who has more resources will win.

(Or are there such methods, or standards?)
