Very slow Win8 sales might be reason for system makers to "rethink"...
Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, December 29 2012 @ 11:02 AM EST
My guess is that the tech folks at companies will never allow for Win8 to be
installed - too hard for users to learn, AND they know about this trick to lock
in users to Windows.

Meaning, that they have no plan B.

Most corporate tech, know fully at this time about LINUX, many use it at home,
and hate that they got to use it at work.

Can you imagaine a company switching to Win8 and having employees not be
productive for a week or two? If that happens, someone will lose their job.

So, Win8 in companies, will not happen if they test it first as they will hate
it.

Intel needs to remember that Linux is the future, and push their own solutions
vs MS solutions at this time.

Choose your vendor - Not game over for Linux
Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, December 29 2012 @ 09:08 PM EST
Choose vendor who meets your requirements,
rather than buying whatever big-name retailers have.
Buy from freedom-friendly vendors.

Big Server - missing a key element
Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, December 30 2012 @ 02:19 AM EST
and that is the availability of 'commercial' software on the platform.
Many Linux Servers also run things like Oracle, WebSphere Application Server
etc. Until the likes of Oracle and IBM (and a plethora of others) release
versions of their products on 'Linux for Arm-64bit' there won't be much adoption
of the platform outside the niche servers that can be 100% satisfied with Open
Source Software.
