| What's Linux without Microsoft? |
|---|
For some in the open source community, the forces of software development have come to resemble the
age-old paradox of Yin and Yang, which states that light does not exist without dark and there is no
good without evil.
According to luminaries who subscribe to this philosophy, and who spoke about it last week in San
Francisco at the LinuxWorld Conference and Expo, the mere presence of Microsoft Corp. has played a big
role in the development of the Linux operating system and other open-source projects. Indeed, for some
there could be no Linux without Microsoft.
