Abstract:
|
The successful evolution of Linux into a popular operating system had looked
improbable when it was first launched a few years ago. That seems to have
changed now. The number of Linux users is increasing and this is posing a threat
to the dominance of Microsoft.
This case study shows how Linux is making inroads into the closely guarded
territory of Microsoft, and how Microsoft is finding it difficult to respond
effectively. The case can be used to enable students to compare the pros and
cons of open source and proprietary software. It also illustrates the role of
substitution in a technology-driven industry.
