Linux does not compete with others

Linux does not compete with others-general Linux technology-Linux technology and application information. The following is a detailed description. Yuan Meng's album

In November 23, I read the article "Linux: When to race against myself" ("race" for short. What is "race "? What is "race against yourself "? Is Microsoft racing against itself? In general, "race" refers to the speed of running. In Chinese, the word "Competition" also means "better than" and "better. It seems that the author of "race" refers to the latter, which means "better. Specifically, according to the author of "race", "Microsoft is a race person (the author adds quotation marks on the word )". Therefore, the specific meaning of the word "race" in this article refers to Microsoft's "certain behavior", which leads Microsoft to become the "leader of the software industry today ". So what is "behavior" that leads Microsoft to become the "Leader" in the software industry? Only by figuring out the specific meaning of this "behavior" (which leads to the act of becoming the boss of the software industry) (specifically referred to) Can we answer positively: "Linux: when do you race against yourself? ".

Since Microsoft's development, the reason for "becoming the world's software industry leader" is "race against yourself ". What is the basis for such a statement? It takes a long time to review history. Microsoft always wants to be the "boss" of the software industry. This is not a secret. But how does it work? Last month, the EU ruling showed that Microsoft's "market monopoly" had led to the elimination of (fair) "Market Competition", which allowed Microsoft to obtain huge monopoly profits. Microsoft is always thinking about how to be the "boss" of the world's software industry and "race against itself" (that is, "win time") to display various means, including "Mergers and Acquisitions. Microsoft has never been an (independent) innovative company. If someone else has a good "Innovation" and has spent money to buy it, why? For example, in March August this year, Microsoft spent $6 billion to purchase and integrate aQuantive online Web advertising companies to "compete for time" (that is, "Race against yourself") to compete in the future market. Good. Microsoft's "big pen" is admirable. However, if this is a race against yourself, what can we do? The specific meaning of Microsoft's "race against oneself", the specific purpose of Microsoft's "race against oneself" (that is, "strive to be the world's software industry leader"), so far, I already understand.

So, let's ask: do Linux run against itself like this? The answer is obvious. No. Why? Because the nature (and purpose) of Linux is different from that of Microsoft (typical representative of private software ). Linux, as a typical representative of Free Software, does not have a specific commercial purpose and does not need to "get up early every day (private ". Linux itself does not care about "stock market" or "when to go public", not the "dream" of the software industry leader ". Penguins (on behalf of Linux) are always in a calm state, symbolizing "peace" and "love ". Ele. Me holds high the banner of "GPL" to be kind to others (Ubuntu's philosophy), and is very honest about the future.

Linux: (always) Never race against others (like Microsoft ).
