- Unix/Linux distinction a mistake?
-
Linux is cheaper than Unix. Whether an observation or a perception, buyers believe that in making choices. That's the reason Linux server sales have been primarily Unix replacements.
Calling that a change within the same family is reasonable. There's a Microsoft realm and a Unix realm, like animals and plants, and a Unix to Linux movement does not change realms.
I considered business, sales and also buyer/user assumptions. Technical issues not included. It's not about the software. - Posted by: Anton Philidor Posted on: 11/30/07 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
