I Strongly Believe that Open Source, will be the future of all Software and Hardware alike. Being in the IT Marketing fields, i have learnt to study client responses and the way how IT technolgoy moves from major companies. Major Clients like Microsoft and Apple are slowly loosing ground to Linux, Unix and others.
I have personally seen major companies , in Kuwait, rollout about 300 to 500 users from microsoft to Lindows(Linux Client OS) or RedHat its truly amazing. Security have shifted from SUN Solaris ,to Linux, Debian and others.
RHEL (Red Hat Entreprise Linux) has been also been working around the security market as a major contender. The Image about the NXT Lego Mindstorm Robot, is becoz the next Firmware releases will be based on Open Source. Now if Open source can do that , what are looking at in the next 10 years?
pretty cool… dang people need to make sure they have complicated jobs or one of those things are gonna replace em!
i think they would be cheaper and take less monthly salary :p
