Red Hat CEO: Vista marks end of 'planned software'

Loverock Davidson 20th Oct 2008

Is this guy completely clueless? Who actually listens to this fool? Planned software is the backbone of the software industry. That is how they get customers to prepare for an upgrade or new installation. Where as the linux model is check the installed version, then check the vendor's website to see if a new release is out, download source, extract it, compile, then install. Planned software is much easier to deal with.

Whitehurst claimed that there are "half the number of bugs in Linux per thousand lines" compared to the Microsoft operating system, because of the open-source, collaborative model.

Lies! Keep dreaming buddy. Linux is proven to have a higher rate of failures and bugs than any other operating system.

Comparing Britney Spears to proprietary softare just put his big foot in his big mouth. Britney made millions in sales, linux didn't. Britney is rich, popular, has talent, and looks great (albeit a little crazy). Linux is works for free, is not recognized, doesn't work well with others, and is ugly to work with. So ask anybody if they want to be Britney or linux, you will see Britney win out every time.

With a CEO like this its no wonder Red Hat and linux are tanking so quickly. The guy is in full denial about the many drawbacks of running linux.
