Should Linux Go MLM?
I'm seeing a trend towards hardware, software and operating system commoditization in our new cloud-based world. I think that within 5 years applications, including your beloved desktop operating system will be completely hosted. This brings me to pondering whether or not at some point there will be multi-level marketing (MLM) schemes to sell hosted services. |

OMG Linway or Amnix,
'would you like soap with that?'
'would you like soap with that?'
As long as the "marketing" is honest who cares how it is done?
The only wrong marketing is no marketing.
How about an informercial? The Luggie, or the Snugnix?
Thanks Steven, I was wrong!
The author believes that Cloud computing is a sure bet. But until ISPs drop their bandwidth limits you can forget about cloud computing.
Besides, do all of you Linux users want to lose control of your data and the ability to tweak your machine? With cloud computing, all you'll have is an appliance that you can't even run a cron job on. And who knows who will control your data.
Sounds promising doesn't it?

Quoting: Sounds promising doesn't it?
Only as an artefact surrounded by heavy sarcasm tags.
