[CS-FSLUG] NI: Against whom is Linux competing?

["國產 Wei-Yee Chan (Made in Chinar)"]

In the closing of his article What Linux needs to succeed, Paul Murphy
writes of Linux devotees:

Stop trying to make Linux look like Windows, don't put those [Windows]
people in charge, and don't let anyone pretend that Linux is some kind
of cheaper Windows replacement. Linux is what it is: Unix, and it takes
different reflexes, different ideas about networks, about the role of
the computer, about data storage, and about application management to
make it work.

While I agree with a number of his conclusions (such as the relative
strengths of Solaris, BSD, and Linux distantly followed by Windows), I
think he misses the point.
