Gates Taking 'Pervasive' Linux Seriously

Gates Taking 'Pervasive' Linux Seriously "The real comparison is between Linux with WebSphere and Windows: compare the price, compare the architectural coherence, the richness of the development tools and/or performance, Gates said. "That will be a very dramatic contrast; our price is still way lower than what you're going to have to do with those others.
"So it's great. There's always been people who thought the Macintosh would take over, that Netscape would take over. Network computers, remember all those ads and those poor customers who bought those things? So we take it seriously. I'm not trying to make light of it. I never made light of OS/2," Gates said."
