The borg schills are taking to the air. Moneyline had Roger McNamee fudding Linux companies. My talk back. Well I guess you ask Roger his opinion as supposedly he is an expert. But I'm a real engineer and I have used Linux for over six years and the applix office suite for linux for over three years. Mr. McNamees comments demonstrated to me he has no knowledge of Linux and Linux companies except what he has been briefed by his friends at MSFT. As an Systems including human factors engineer I will state that 80% of current user of MS office can do 100% of whatever with 89 dollar applix office suite. Applix has only 11 million shares out and several other enterprise applications that fit well in the network centric productivity path of corporations. I can understand why Mr. McNamee would dis applix and corl as here are a couple of his credentials. in 1996 forbes.com paragraph 11. 11. There is only one Microsoft. Don't waste your time looking for the next one. That will only cause you to miss good investment opportunities. If you invest in the best-positioned companies in the most attractive technologies, the "next Microsoft"--should one emerge--will already be in your portfolio when everyone finally recognizes the stock for what it is. Just last june.
