Linux Provably Green

Posted by cmdln on March 8th, 2007

I am simultaneously surprised and not by this piece over on EcoGeek. I am vicariously proud of Linux. I am not so sure I buy the competitive downside the article hints at if we all ran Linux. No doubt the slower obsolescence would alter the competitive nature of the PC business but I doubt it would have a huge, adverse impact. Perhaps we would have seen peripherals, like digital cameras, mature more swiftly as a consequence.
