| Desktop Linux trashed |
Jan. 26, 2009
Desktop Linux had its chance there for a while in netbooks, but has now been "kicked to the curb" by Microsoft, never to surface again. This according to Robin Harris, apparently an expert in storage, who in an amusing, penguin-baiting rant published by ZDNet, ventures his opinion on desktop Linux.
The rant has drawn a response from former ZDNet editor Henry Kingman. On our sister site, Linux-Watch, he writes, "Have Linux geeks learned to see penguin-baiting for what it is, and ignore it? I guess I wouldn't be writing this, if they had."
Kingman criticizes Harris for both the "tactless" style and seeming lack of substance to his essay. Click below to read the complete response.
