LINUX ACCOUNTS FOR $2 BILLION OF HP's SALES
Carly Fiorina, the chief executive of Hewlett-Packard, the world's top
seller of personal computers, says that the Linux operating system now
accounts for fully $2 billion of HP sales. That $2 billion figure contrasts
with virtually no sales at all a mere five years ago. Of course, the
increasing importance of Linux goes beyond HP, and market research groups
such as IDC say that Linux installations grew 35% last year, in spite of
the fact that corporate information technology budgets were in most cases
flat or declining. (Reuters/San Jose Mercury News 21 Jan 2003)
