Story: EDS backtracks on 'strategically important' Linux

I don't see this as a "backtrack" at all.

They didn't say they that their earlier assertion was incorrect; simply that Linux is "strategically important."

In other words, EDS is saying "Linux is garbage, but we'll do it if our customer's demand it."

Tell me EDS, if Linux is so insecure, unscalable, and unstable, why even bother supporting it? Surely they owe it to their customers to equip them instead with something "secure" and "scalable" such as Microsoft Windows.

My advice to anyone: this company obviously has *no clue* about Linux and its strengths, and has no dedication to the platform that wouldn't disappear in an instant upon word from their Redmond Washington-based master. Forget them and talk to IBM or Novell instead.
