| Case Closed: When Open Didn't Work |
|---|
Linux wasn't a box-office hit with Regal Entertainment Group, the country's largest theater owner with $2.5 billion in 2004 revenue. It's switching from open-source Linux to Microsoft Windows.
The company is undergoing a major IT overhaul to develop a common point-of-service application that can support box-office and food and beverage sales, as well as new customer-service kiosks. Part of this overhaul, expected to save the company $10 million over the next five years, includes swapping out as many as 10,000 IBM point-of-service terminals running Red Hat Linux with newer Fujitsu touch-screen devices and kiosks running Windows XP Embedded
