Linux Is Easy
I had one of those blinding brainflashes, the kind that left me wondering how could I have been such a blind beetle all these years, after reading the Freeform Dynamics report, Linux on the Desktop: Lessons from mainstream business adoption.
It's well worth reading, with a lot of data and real information packed into 13 pages. Contrast this with any random self-serving "study" we see on a daily basis, which are typically generalized and slanted beyond usefulness. It could be argued that this report is also designed to be self-serving since it was commissioned by IBM, which has had great success with Linux. But unlike so many "analyst" reports that hide the paymaster, IBM's sponsorship is prominently disclosed. And I think it is right on; it jibes nicely with my own experiences. Which makes sense because they surveyed actual business users of Linux.
