Truth Happens
"First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win."
- Mohandas Gandhi
First they ignore you...
"...we think of [Linux] as a competitor in the student and hobbyist market. But I really don't think in the commercial market, we'll see it in any significant way."
-- Bill Gates, Chairman, Microsoft (1999)
Then they laugh at you...
"We'll be number one in Linux by a long shot... "I'll challenge our Linux experience against Red Hat any day."
-- Scott McNealy, CEO, Sun (October 2000)
Then they fight you...
"At Sun, as I said, it's tough to compete against a social movement, especially one in which we all believe. But compete against a single company, Red Hat? Finally."
--Jonathan Schwartz, President, Sun (July 2004)
博客引用甘地名言阐述发展阶段,以微软和Sun对Linux的态度为例。起初微软主席盖茨认为Linux在商业市场无足轻重而忽视;接着Sun公司CEO称会远超Linux;最后Sun总裁表示可与Red Hat竞争,体现了对Linux态度从忽视到对抗的转变。
