Just pure rubbish.
More companies should seek to gain pre-installed Linux distribution channels
and large customers to support in their entirety. Thats much much much more
profitable than working for micoshaft. You can become multi-billion dollar
companies overnight by taking on such responsibilities.
The big mistake that novel and micoshaft are doing is that they are
encumbering their own customers with daft ip and dimwitted drm and
twining around them in a strangle hold through dumb identity management
products to milk them.
Linux companies don't do that.
Its all about freedoms including the freedom to choose.
Because Linux is more secure by design, and licensing is so
free, identity management and single sign on are relatively
speaking minor issues downgraded to exercises in scripting
in a fully open source compliant company.
Those companies that go with micoshaft and novel are gonna
have their life blood sucked out of them and see themselves
led into oblivion as they begin to instigate
ever more rigid time consuming and outdated ideas of ip, drm,
identity management and single sign on features while younger and more
agile companies choose other Linux and defeat all their
competitors in the market place where it matters.
