Wishing for something to be true doesn’t mean it is or ever would be true: the number of seats for all the “big engineering applications” is a rather self-limiting market by nature of the fact that it’s “engineering” that requires far more than the average bear knows and comprehends in order to be useful, and the situations where the software is of value is also that limited.

If they don’t then they shouldn’t be your friend and everyone needs friends. I believe and U should to that if they realize this, they will change. Please pass this on to your friends who fall into the big “G” category. If the human race (each individual) could fight their own greed issues we would all be happy. Still without the direction of the many the great mind will only see one path. Quote: “Many minds are greater than one mind, although it takes a great mind to decipher the true path of the many. But in software and hardware development lifecycles innovation can be driven in far greater lengths (shorter timeframes) by sharing ideas in real “shared” time to the benefit of all. The industry age competition was based on competing over years of competitive development. Too many times the focus is on money and if anyone is following this strategy it is microsale(soft). focused on the us as there are many nations that contribute to new technologies in the IT spectrum) But, to be blunt to all (all earthlings) would benefit from partnerships with differing ideas but shared resources, not separatist strategies. Why do the US companies compete so much, what would happen if the talent from google, microsoft, redhat, oracle, ibm, sun, and many others shared resources to make IT (software, whatever) easy for the common man/woman. The US would be forced into a position of “no software patnets” to stop the insanity.Īt the end of that process, Microsoft will have lost a whole heap of goodwill and money, and it will still not have stopped Linux.Įrgo, Microsoft will not sue Linux over patents. In fact, due to the suit and counter-suits, it may even reach the absurd situation that no-one in the US is allowed to run any software through court injunctions.Īs soon as it reached that point, there would be a political solution. There would be no point in customers seeking refuge in Microsoft software, because Microsoft software will be in as much strife as Linux.

In the event that Microsoft sued Linux over patents, Linux would counter-sue Windows over patents. There is a respectable body of patents that have already been pledged to support Linux. So this could be interpreted in one or more of the following ways:ġ) A dirty move to win customers from, and weaken, a corporate competitor.Ģ) A move to weaken the relationship between corporate companies and non-profit projects.ģ) A protracted, indirect move to weaken the non-profit projects through hurting the marketshare of their financial backers.Ĭustomers of these companies will be scared by an impending legal battle, will back out and place their bets with Microsoft. The pro-Linux companies will then have to wage their own PR campaigns to woo back the customers, which may or may not mean that the companies will publicly distance themselves from their pet non-profit projects. Customers of these companies will be scared by an impending legal battle, will back out and place their bets with Microsoft.

Where this could really hit the GNU/Linux fandom is in the pocketbook, as these companies – Red Hat, Novell, Mandriva, Canonical, Xandros – are often the prime corporate backers for these projects.

The current situation, from the surface, seems more like a messy battle between companies for customers. However, that is the future potential of this war, once it ever reaches U.S. And since GNU/Linux distributions are usually created and distributed by non-profit projects, it seems inevitable that Microsoft will target these projects as well. That Ballmer has specifically targeted Red Hat, a corporate vendor that depends upon a non-profit organization, in the press puts the company closer to a dangerous precedent: suing non-profit software organizations. It is a corporation that competes against companies like Novell, Red Hat or (in the past) Netscape. Because it hasn’t gone after non-profit software organizations like Gentoo, Fedora, Debian or GNU/FSF.
