Linus On The Future Of Microsoft
An anonymous reader writes “There’s a
pretty good interview with Linus over at Good Morning Silicon Valley. The
discussion seems focused predominantly on the future of proprietary software and
what the tech landscape might look like if Microsoft’s market share declines.
‘Says Linus: I do not believe that anything can “replace” Microsoft in the
market that MS is right now. Instead, what I think happens is that markets
mature, and as they mature and become commoditized, the kind of dominant player
like MS just doesn’t happen any more. You don’t have another dominant player
coming in and taking its place — to find a new dominant player you actually
have to start looking at a totally different market altogether.’”
