09/23/2007  
Relevance: 5.68
The thinking seems to go something like this. Linux has to succeed broadly on the desktop as an alternative to Windows because: * It's a good way to support development of the OS and its attendant applications. People are more likely to invest in an existing success story than one that's struggling. * Linux is a technologically better system and it deserves to win. * Someone has to stand up to bully-boy Microsoft

10/30/2006  
Relevance: 4.97
As in business, free and open source software (FOSS) is spreading rapidly in educational systems. Yet, despite the growing acceptance, experienced advocates are unanimous in observing that significant barriers remain. FOSS advocates in schools in Canada and the United States not only need to face the innate conservatism of those around them, but also need to plan their campaigns carefully, choosing tactics that will work and avoiding counterproductive ones. Success is more likely to come slowly, and from starting small, than from any overnight success.

Why sharing matters more than marketshare to GNU/Linux

08/03/2008  
Relevance: 4.77
In a recent article, Ryan Cartwright argued that free software isn't playing the"same game" as proprietary software is. He's right--but that begs the question: what game is GNU/Linux playing? Thirty years of proprietary software thinking have conditioned us to think that marketshare is a critical measure of success, and so we've convinced ourselves that we have to"win" against Windows in order to"succeed". But this is simply not true. GNU/Linux can be a very great success even if it never achieves more than 1% of the installations in the world. The reason is the difference between"power" and"freedom".
