Linux taketh, Linux giveth

Bill Gates has made it clear that he believes that Linux takes away jobs in the tech sector. He is correct. However, Gates leaves out the part about Linux creating jobs as well. Bill Gates was actually quoted as saying; “If you don’t want to create jobs or intellectual property, then there is a tendency to develop open source. It is not something you do as a day job.”

Mr. Gates, if Open Source software is not something that can be done as a day job, then someone had better tell all of the folks at Sun, IBM, and the countless other companies that getting paid for their work was apparently a fluke.

What Do You Think?
