OMG objects to Linux

A press release issued by the Object Management Group (OMG) was described today by a source close to the group as a farrago. The release, headlined "Corba on Linux gains momentum", was "stupid and senseless", the source said. "Linux is freeware while Corba costs money," she said. "This is silly, just plain silly. Linux is the software equivalent of Viagra and raises false expectations." According to the OMG release, more and more of its members have requested support for Linux. ® Click for more stories Click for story index
