1 - Linux costs little 2 - Linux is powerful 3 - Linux development is a protocal of sorts 4 - This protocol is the driving force behind linux not any company or organization. It cannot not survive. It cannot be beaten by any company. The protocol will not allow that. 5 - Linux does not depend on money 6 - Linux is the reality that sprang forth from the RMS theory of software. 7 - Microsoft is just a company 8 - Mr. Gates knows that MS could not dominate if CEO's change their mind 9 - Linux rules the small servers, it will soon rule the big iron and have a positive force on the desktop. The reason is the protocol. 10 - Our opinions and coding via the protocol will continue to improve the OS for the many different facets of computing. 11 - This protocol allows companies to use it to build things like tivo and PDA's. It also powers IBM mainframes. 12 - Where it can be used as a solution it will be used. Of course a good company like IBM can send it's sales force out and sell the software.
Just the facts!
