It doesn't really shock me that someone on the "UNIX Engineering Team" |
| 6 |
would say something evangelizing UNIX. There are lots of great examples |
| 7 |
of free operating systems (incl Linux) in large corporations, everywhere; |
| 8 |
however, almost entirely displacing Microsoft servers in two years time is |
| 9 |
not realistic. |

I really, really hate it when people who are supposedly on "our side" make |
| 12 |
these kinds of public statements. The only thing that matters is what you |
| 13 |
do, not what you think will happen. Leave that forecasting up to day |
| 14 |
traders. The problem with predictions is that most end up being wrong, at |
| 15 |
least partially. In retrospect, we know how stupid predictions of Linux |
| 16 |
taking over the desktop were in 1999/2000. |
