I have always preached the Gospel of Ubuntu which is a flavor of Linux. More and more, corporations are making the transition away from Windows and into Cloud based computing. Without getting into the technical reasons of which Adobe’s Flash funeral comes to mind, the business world is finally becoming tired of Bill Gates’ systematic control of the computing world fraught with broken and virus ridden lack of options.
Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff was recently quoted by VentureBeat,
Benioff turned to his own thoughts on the new Microsoft OS, which launches Oct. 26. He said that people were not having frequent conversations about traditional computers anymore — people are instead talking about which smartphones and tablets they want to buy. He name-checked the iPhone 5 and the Kindle Fire HD as examples.
With that in mind, Windows 8, he noted, was no longer important. He said CIOs had upgraded to Windows 7 because they didn’t have another choice, but now things have changed.
“Windows 8 is the gambit — will [CIOs] upgrade, or will they do something else?” Benioff said. “It’s the end of Windows. … Windows is irrelevant.”
