Why Linux Is Wealthier Than Microsoft
Written by Russell Roberts
Sometimes I suspect Bill Gates doesn’t sleep so well at night. Not out of any guilt over his billions or the alleged mediocrity of his product. No, I wonder whether he might actually worry about the competition. Not Apple (though that iPod MP3 player is a killer toy, and I’m cheerfully typing these words on an Apple (AAPL) PowerBook G4). No, I’ll bet Linux and its creator, Linus Torvalds, cross Gates’s mind when he’s looking up at the ceiling late at night.
