    They seem more concerned with their bonuses and stock buybacks. In August Intel announced that they’d be laying off 15k workers to “save” $10 billion US. They’re also cutting back on R&D for the same reason. I guess the MBAs decided that losing customers by hamstringing Linux users is an acceptable loss. Not like folks won’t forget about this six months from now, anyway…

        Makes you wonder why so many people want to be rich and powerful, doesn’t it?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
