AT&T; May Replace Windows With Linux
From Bloomberg News
AT&T; Corp. is testing Linux software as a replacement for Microsoft Corp.’s Windows operating system, which runs the 70,000 personal computers used by its employees.
A decision by AT&T; to abandon Windows would be Microsoft’s biggest loss to the 13-year-old Linux system.
A surge in viruses and efforts to cut costs have driven customers to look for alternatives to Windows, which dominates the $10-billion market for PC operating systems.
