Selamlar..
Uzunca bir suredir, Windoz-Linux jokeleri, Flameler filan yoktu, biraz
heyecan getirelim. ZDNet'ten, tipinde bile meymenet olmayan bir sahis,
Linux cok iyi server olur ama su dokuz nedenden dolayi Desktop'a
gelemez diye yumurtlamis. Asil beni bu kadar kizdiran, TurkeyHighTech
grubundan bir arkadasin cikip, "Linuxcular cevap versin" diye bunu o
listeye fwd etmesi oldu. Tam boyle orayi karistirip Memleket icin Linux
propagandasi yaparken bu insanlara soguk dus gibi geldi sanirim.
Buradaki cok saygideger pek cok simayi orada da gormek mumkun. Fakat
nedense o arkadaslardan bir cevap gelmedi. Oturup bunlarin hepsine
cevap yazdim ama, "Linuxcular" deyince, sizlerle paylasmak farz oldu
gibi. Sizinde katki ve goruslerinizi almak isterim...

Mesajdaki tezler:
Linux will never become common as a desktop operating system, and no
amount of believing will change that. It only makes adherents look
stupid. Why? Because Linux is too complex, and there isn't enough money
to make it worth someone's time to build a really great environment for
desktop apps. And then software companies would need to build
applications, but how large a market is there? Yes, chicken-and-egg,
but that stops many things, not just desktop Linux.
If client-side Java had lived up to the promise of "write once, run
anywhere" then Linux would have a bigger, but hardly fighting, chance
of unseating desktop Windows.
Linux, desktop especially but also server, is not a major threat to
Microsoft. But it is enough of a threat to make Microsoft notice, and
that is usually a good thing. Microsoft will be on the defensive, at
least a little, and that gives customers some leverage they don't
otherwise enjoy.
I don't have numbers to support this, but Linux may be a bigger threat
to various flavors of UNIX than it is to Microsoft server operating
systems.
There's at least a 50/50 probability that Linux will become Balkanized
just as UNIX was. There will be multiple, semi-compatible versions of
Unix that seem to be one operating system, right up until you try to
install applications. Surprise! Not the Solaris version? Sorry!
People talk about how wonderful it is that Linux is free. But over the
life of a server, the operating system is such a small part of the cost
that it gets lost in the other soft- and hard-dollar expenses. And
you'd think systems offering the lowest total cost-of-ownership would
sell better than they usually do. Apple, for many years, claimed a big
TCO lead over Windows. But did it help?
Big hardware companies may yet co-opt Linux: Here's an operating system
they can load, create add-ons for, and then sell support contracts for.
Add some minor barriers to switching to other platforms and operating
systems--either Microsoft or another Linux--and you might have
something. Isn't this how Sun became King of Unix?
Linux is a fine server operating system Use it with my blessing, but
don't let it define you, your IS shop, or your company. And don't
select Linux just because you hate Microsoft. That isn't good enough
reason to pick an operating system.
Linux will be a common operating system in places where we don't see an
operating system--like home information and entertainment appliances.
Want Linux? Buy a TiVo digital video recorder. Linux makes great sense
as an embedded OS, but faces much competition. Still, I am betting most
people will have some sort of Linux-powered device in the lives
sometime in the next 5 years or so.
