Ballmer: Windows HPC Edition To Steal Share From Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Ballmer said Linux is not gaining as much share against Windows as
| naysayers once predicted. The Linux desktop has gone nowhere and
| Linux server sales have peaked, he claimed.
|
| "Four years ago, people wrote that we'd be wiped out by Linux. Four
| years later, how are they doing? They're not gaining share. Four years
| ago, we were supposed to be wiped out. We've not lost share to
| them--maybe we're down a point--and that can almost be all accounted
| for by the number of Linux servers Google's put in," Ballmer quipped.
|
|
| [...]
|
| One open source consultant dismissed Ballmer's contention, and said
| Linux' momentum is not over.
