For a while the press and the market was preoccupied with this question about whether Linux was going to kill Windows and whether Linux fundamentally introduced a value proposition was going to pull users away from Microsoft. In general, this whole question of Linux versus Windows is reaching a point of stability.

[The Asia Pacific region isn't the only hotbed of Linux activity. The Peruvian congress is considering a law that would force all government computer systems to use open-source technology whenever possible.] Security is especially relevant for government vendors, ... Governments are saying they'd rather use open-source technology because there aren't any unseen open doors into the system. But it's not only that.

Past Microsoft-sponsored reports on Linux management are simply outdated and one-sided.

Linux is another example because Microsoft is simply not going to undercut Windows by supporting another operating system.

Motorola will do whatever it takes to maintain its dominant position and if that means doing stuff on Linux it means doing stuff Linux.
