None directly, but in tech mutual funds sure, doesn't most everyone invested in tech mutual funds?
And how exactly is giving away an operating system which has its roots in freely-available code that Bell Labs released 30 years ago giving away intellectual property?
IBM and HP are giving their newest technology away into Linux, as I said above, and are unfortunately conceding their versions of Unix which are US standards. Both AIX and HP-UX are admittedly taking a back seat now. Other traditional US tech companies like Sun and Apple are losing their customers, and not for inferior products but rather that they dare charge a price for them. Apple even going off into music and Sun selling out with Linux workstations in China at a loss. If you can't see the damage to the economy and the one way transfer of technology you're blind in both eyes.
You spout the same moronic drivel on every Linux thread I have ever seen you on.
Yet that was the best post you could come up with?
Yeah, like you'd know what IBM's and HP's newest technology really is. And putting the latest & greatest into open-source Linux. Suuuuuure.
.. and are unfortunately conceding their versions of Unix which are US standards. Both AIX and HP-UX are admittedly taking a back seat now.
News Flash: IBM is still improving and selling AIX and the hardware it runs on. And they're still eating Sun's lunch. And if traditional Unix is indeed slowly dying, I think you can thank all of your buddies at SCO for that.
