One of the things you learn quickly when you work for a large company is how well executives can cover up failure. I think, to a large extent, that is what is happening with Linux. Folks are covering up its failure with rhetoric, and that is keeping it from growing to its potential. I’m an analyst, and particularly when we challenge popular views, folks want to know what is behind those views. Detractors will make stuff up, but there are actually professionals who can accurately assess who and what we are. One of the best is Sage Circle, and we will discuss its return as well.
