Microsoft Slavery May be Ending Due to Dumping -- Slashdot.com Debates (tags)
The popular technology website Slashdot has picked up an Indymedia article that has created quite a stir (100s of comments). Slashdot said: "This is an interesting point made by a Clayton Hallmark on IndyMedia out of Argentina. He predicts that cheap Asian computing appliances with an Open Source Operating System on a chip will be the ultimate MS killer. References to the US$220 Mobilis out of India suggest the begining of newer, more powerful, and cheaper things to come. Mr. Hallmark also points to the success of the Wal-Mart cheap PC as proof the end is near for proprietory software. Overall an in interesting and thought provoking read."
