Who will eventually benefit from the Linux industry merger?

Article Title: who will benefit from the Linux industry merger ?. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

Recently, two small Linux operating system releases and solutions vendors announced the merger. What is the impact of this small Linux industry behavior on industry giants, such as Red Hat, Novell, and Ubuntu.

First, let's talk about the background of this purchase. Xandros is famous for its cross-platform management tools for Windows-Linux, while Linspire is well-known for its software release feature, paid Linspire desktop version, and free Freespire version of CNR (click andrun. Xandros pointed out that the merger of technologies, experts, and market position of both parties will allow Xandros to provide a complete set of Linux solutions.

"Xandros has become a leader in the Linux industry in OEM, mobile, desktop, and PC management and application fields. it is gratifying to have such a respectable competitor come across Linspire and CNR technologies ." Said Michael Roberts, founder and chairman of Linspire.

Xandros is clearly focused on Linspire's CNR technology, and is optimistic about Linux's business opportunities in the cheap laptop market. In fact, the Linux version of Eee PC, which is quite popular recently, uses Xandros.

From the above, we can see that the final winner is still the user. The following are my reasons:

1. First of all, there are too many Linux operating system releases. you may ask a person on the street in the United States without knowing the Red Hat operating system, not to mention the SUSE and Ubuntu operating systems.
2. if there are fewer releases, there will still be a lot of benefits. for example, if some Linux users choose a Linux release that is not a good one from the very beginning, they will soon roll back, continue to use its "convenient" and "secure" Windows operating systems. It is a headache to select the best and most suitable version among various Linux distributions.
3. goodbye, Linspire, at least not an independent company. We are also grateful to Xandros for its contribution in the Linux market integration. These actions will help the Linux market to be clear. those who encounter difficulties on the windows platform can find a proper replacement in the Linux system.
