Linux Finally Taken Seriously?

      by Wyatt Walter

Computer World ran a story a couple of days ago that made it popular on Digg that I found very interesting. The article was “Windows 7: Microsoft’s Linux Killer?“. Has Linux finally been given the status it deserves? Normally we hear about how Linux may some day give Windows a run for its money and about Linux equivalents to Windows applications. It’s definitely nice to see an article that talks about Windows as the underdog rather than Linux.

Linux has been used on back end systems for years as the powerhouse for many organizations, but has been making its public appearance as a lighter-weight operating system. It has done very well on the new netbook-class laptops due to its lower memory consumption, though it doesn’t lack the 3d desktop effect (actually, it was first to makret). Linux was ready and waiting for the Vista compatibility and performance fiasco and Microsoft apparently is going after a faster-performing operating system to catch back up.
