Why not Linux?

[Rick Tomaschuk]

As John Hall often mentions in his talks about software development...
the paradigm changed from developers maintaining software 'on the
fly' (circa 1985) to the availability of shrink wrapped product (after
1989 DOS, word processors...). Companies need expect to have a software
department/programmer on staff, it's still ok to develop applications.
The smallest, simplest 'bulletproof' apps can still do the job without
buying 'developer studio' or paying royalties to some proprietary
gorilla. People new to Linux need to know about the easiest way to solve
their business problems using tools available with various
distributions.
