In our last class, our professor mostly discussed computer software and some hardware usage. I was very interesting in Windows Vista and Linux operation system because I recently bought a laptop which uses Windows Vista as its operation system, and I used to work at an I.T. company which offers VOD service from a Linux server. I searched for some articles about these two systems, and “Linux Will Get Buried” (Tom Yager, 4/9/06) is very interesting. It indicates that Linux will not be used like general operations systems such as Windows’s or Apple’s; however, Linux can thrive in embedded solutions because it has a very mature kernel.
I strongly agree with author’s opinion. He discloses the reason why Linux gets buried in a commercial situation, and the advantages of Linux. It is not that “friendly” because it is really hard to use if you are a beginning user. However, based on my working experience, I believe that Linux is a very stable and reliable system. People could resize it, and it could be embedded to computer hardware. In contrast, Windows systems have a very nice interface, but its kernel is not so stable. Lots of computer users have experienced windows system down. This article is very useful for Linux fans and Linux programmers.
