Over the past two months, I’ve given several talks on technology futures at local universities.
One question (still) keeps getting asked about the “winner” of Microsoft vs. Open Source or more specifically Linux vs. Windows.
While i tend to be binary about things, in the short term it’s hard to see a technical “winner” between these two platforms. At the server level, both work, on the desktop one has an enormous lead and mobile is still in flux.
