Leveling Power With Linux

Sidenote: This closet Eagles fan was very, very sad today. :-(

Well, if the plan to find IT jobs on Mars doesn’t pan out, I guess we’ll have to find it within ourselves to jumpstart the tech industry. Doug Chick over at OS Views ponders a hope in Linux.

I believe, as do many others, that the only way we will keep our jobs is to take that control away from the software vendors and put it in the hands of the computer professional. We already have that power, but many of us lack the courage to exercise it. As long as the software giants continue to control the computer desktop, they will also control our careers. I am now convinced that the only way to keep computer jobs in America is to shift the balance of power by implementing Linux as a corporate desktop operating system.
