IBM: UNIX to Linux Migration Rate Growing

,----[ Quote ]
| Inna Kuznetsova, Director, Linux Strategy, led the meeting attended by IT
| analysts and painted a telling picture of what IBM's Linux business has been
| in recent months: in short, strong and growing. To give an idea of this
| strength, Kuznetsova reported that in the past three years, over 1,800
| customers have migrated from competitive platforms to IBM, and nearly 50
| percent of those IBM wins included Linux.

The Value of Linux Job Skills Rises 50%

What's it to you? You don't know any Linux!
Just rant here all day posting any Anti-Linux tripe
and pro micoshaft clap trap while Linux still grows
and expands around the globe.


Micoshaft names RHAT and Canonical as their enemies!
----------------------------------------------------

BEAWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!

They got nothin better to do?

I'm thinking about that RHAT advert...

�First�they�laugh�at�us
��Then�they�fight�us
���Then�we�win

So we are now at stage 2 where micoshaft is picking a fight
by naming RHAT and Canonical as their enemies.
A few days earlier they named Intel and HP as enemies too.
And Google? - yet another enemy that has destroyed
a large chunk of micoshaft already.
Looks like micoshaft is catching its death from all around.

And only a few days ago micoshaft's Balmer claimed micoshaft
has been fighting Linux for YEARS!!!!
Thats despite all the trolls.

Verbosity makes things unclear.

Either Balmer is lying, or the windummy trolls are lying
or both are liars as Linux continues its meteoric rise
and micoshaft revenue heads south.

Windummy paytard loons all thrown into the trollard soup after
years of lying about Micoshaft claiming it doesn't care about
Linux or that Linux is too insignificant when it was
the exact opposite.

As micoshaft sales have lost 30% of market.
how does micoshaft define competing with Linux?

It can't be anything serious.
All we see here are a bunch of windummy trolls ranting
anti-Linux slogans.
Is that what micoshaft calls competing with Linux?
Is that how they lost 30% market share to Linux?

I am sure all reporters, journalists, bloggers,
Linux engineers, and big bosses of big companies
would all like to know now what Balmer meant by
competing with Linux. Please define.

This is the latest lie you dishonest Linux wacks have latched onto.

Where's the beef? Where's the proof Linux salaries overall have risen 50%
in the past year, during the worst American - and probably worldwide -
recession in 50 years?

Liars.

Where did anyone use the word salaries? "Value of Linux Job Skills Rises
50%" is not the same as 50% rise in salaries.

What, the "value of job skills" is now measured in Twinkies?

There are many ways to measure "value" of job skills. For instance, if
you have a certain set of skills which will enable you to more easily get
a job, those skills could be considered more valuable than other skills,
without regard to salary.
