Ah, it seems we get back to that article again, I dont know, but it seems to me that a lot of negative stuff is going round, but all based on one article. It still doesnt bode well, even if the guy is misinformed.On Thu, May 14, 2009 at 12:30 PM, jakewc2 <jake...@sky.com> wrote:Who is Bill Weinburg? Is he something high up in the Linux world, I came across this article which has cropped up from the article I posted. It seems thigns are hotting up because of that article.http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS5658010765.htmlI do not know about this Bill, however he starts his article with «A well-known Linux analyst has published a blog saying that Linux is failing in the once-promising netbook market.», which is an EPIC FAIL by itself. Let's examine this first sentence, 1. The information does not come from the analyst's blog (it's a result of interview/contact). 2. The analyst did not say that 'Linux is failing in the once-promising netbook market' (the analyst make a prediction) 3. That 'analyst' is not a 'Linux' analyst. In http://tech.blorge.com/Structure:%20/2009/04/21/lenovo-analyst-linux-on-netbooks-is-doomed/ we see that the said analyst has very low grasp of what open-source and Linux is about. 4. The analyst is actually only now 'well-known' in the open-source community because of the blorge.com articles that expose him as an uninformed person.
