War of 1's and 0's.

The intellectual rights ,copy right laws Vs the open source ,GPL(general public license) ..the war which was once a david-goliath fight ,with david taking the beating all the time ..has now come to a level where the underdog david has now become the giant ..thanks to GOOGLE..the rich cash giant and the champion now providing the support whats it takes to contain the bully micro$hit.

The Wall street proceedings of google says it all..everybody wants the change to happen..SUN which had to almost bow once to the bully(by licensing java in IE,which is shipped with windows) and which in turn led to the demise of netscape ,now has the partner which it has long been looking for..

IBM too had once and for all paid the price for accepting windows to be displayed on it's machines ..which eventually led to the growth of microsoft windows OS and the decline of IBM( OS/2) brand as computer manufacturer happened simultaneously..i wonder the time is near when IBM will make a re-entry into PC marke or atleast actively support in the anti-windows campaign.

The GNU/linux OS,or the other opensource software reaching respectable levels of reliability and in porviding support needed for one to change over from the most costliest shit one can buy..all they needed is a giant to support it.

The giant ,the lord , which manages almost everything with the most cheapest hardware(which are many are yet to figure it out how?) and the search engine(PRA) or their advertising model ,the huge world class projects they take up,the one that is regarded as the key to the internet world,GOOGLE ..the hope of the opensource.

The future as all are zeoring upon is the web services , this is the field in which GOOGLE is far ahead then the rest of its competitors or competitor to be exact.

the fundamental difference in both of them is one buys, swaggers and is more dependant on its lawyers for infringment on its patents and the other develops almost everything that is needed..

The battle lines are being drawn and in the end computing world will benifit from both i believe..
