“Microsoft, Learn to Love Linux”

»

…said Clayton Christensen, of the Innovator Dilemna fame, in an article in ZDNet. (via Slashdot)

Christensen said that Microsoft should move progressively into Linux applications over the next six or seven years, because that sector will offer better opportunities for growth than operating systems or databases.

Woosh! That sound very much like a conversation I have with Microsoft folks last month. But hey, I am no management guru, and when Christensen speaks, people listen. Or at least, I hope Gate do ;-)
