Gartner: No New Unix Apps to Emerge After 2009

09/22/2007  
Relevance: 5.41
There are unlikely to be any new applications developed solely for Unix after 2009, George Weiss, a Gartner vice president and distinguished analyst, told attendees at Gartner's annual Open Source Summit here Sept. 20."I expect that, around 2009, we will have seen the last application developed specifically for Unix, after which no applications will be developed just for that operating system, though updates to existing applications will continue for some time to come," Weiss said in an address titled"Planning a Third-Generation Linux Enterprise."

Linux on the desktop - Much relies on Novell. Can they make it ...

08/27/2006  
Relevance: 4.40
Michael Farnum discusses how Novell can make GNU/Linux a serious contender in the desktop market. However, I strongly disagree with the author's assertion that apps need to be developed by mainstream vendors, as opposed to Joe Hacker working in his basement. Linus wasn't a mainstream vendor when he started hacking out Linux. The GNU tools were not developed by mainstream vendors. And I sure hope Michael doesn't mean we need more non-free crap. Weigh it for yourself, though.
