Linux Foundationin vuotuisessa kokouksessa puhunut Jim Zemlin totesi yksiselitteisesti että "Linux on vahva ja tulee yhä vahvemmaksi". Zemlin perustaa näkemyksensä - ei hypetykseen - vaan kiistattomiin faktoihin.
"The short version: Linux is going strong and getting stronger."
"...the macro-economic trends have played to the strengths of Linux and open source. Few can dispute that Linux is cheaper to procure and run in comparison to proprietary platforms. This applies not only to end users but also to device manufacturers and development shops building platforms."
"Because there are new devices in the market and the nature of client computing is changing in the industry, Linux is much more attractive--especially for the mobile Internet. Again, it comes back to control. By using Linux, device makers have much more control over their applications, services and economics."
ZEMLIN ARVIOI ETTÄ 2-5 VUODEN KULUESSA LAITTEISTOSTA ON TULOSSA ILMAISTA...
"Zemlin predicts that in the next two to five years hardware will become free. People won't buy software and they won't buy hardware, they'll pay for services like Amazon Web Services. This won't be bad for hardware providers who will sell to a different constituency as service providers will offer more and more services online. "

"NET Networks, Inc. was a media company based in San Francisco, California, United States. The company was co-founded in 1993 by Halsey Minor and Shelby Bonnie. It was acquired by CBS Corporation in 2008 and its properties were merged into CBS Interactive. CNET was also originally an acronym that originally stood for Computer Networks, but the name was later changed to CNET Networks, and CNET was no longer an acronym."
