Uma kukhulunywa ngomthombo ovulekile nokusebenzisana kwalokhu, mhlawumbe eziningi zingakhumbula izinkampani ezifana ne-Intel, Red Hat noma mhlawumbe iGoogle, kepha kungaxaka kakhulu ukucabanga ngeMicrosoft.
Futhi noma ngabe abanye babafundi bethu kuzwakala kungenangqondo ukuhlobanisa iMicrosoft nezwe lomthombo ovulekile, lokhu kuyiqiniso futhi iminyaka eminingana manje iMicrosoft nayo ingomunye wabanikeli ababalulekile.
Kepha ukucabanga ukuthi iMicrosoft ingumnikeli womthombo ovulekile omkhulu kunabo bonke wezwe, kungazwakala kungenangqondo.
Kepha asilungile noma okungenani, njengoba kulinganiswa ngenani labasebenzi abanikela ngokuzikhandla kumaphrojekthi womthombo ovulekile ku-GitHub kusho okunye.
Empeleni IMicrosoft inabanikeli abaphindwe kabili kunomnikeli wesibili ngobukhulu, iGoogle.
Kodwa-ke, ucwaningo lwakamuva kakhulu lonjiniyela bedijithali bathola ukuthi iGoogle, iMicrosoft ayinabo ubungani obuphindiwe ukuvula umthombo.
I-Google ingumnikeli omkhulu emthonjeni ovulekile futhi ibineminyaka eminingi.
Kusukela ehlobo leKhodi leGoogle kuya eminikelweni yakhe ye-MySQL kanye namaphrojekthi amaningi, iGoogle enikele ngawo.
Muva nje, ukhulise ukubamba iqhaza kwakhe nakakhulu ngeminikelo yephrojekthi yeKubernetes kanye neTensonFlow, ngayinye yazo iletha inani elikhulu kakhulu kubantu abaningi bonjiniyela.
Okuhlaba umxhwele nakakhulu ukuthi iGoogle iphathe lawa maphrojekthi ngendlela yokuthi ibe yimizamo yangempela yomphakathi.
Akumangalisi ukuthi ama-53% wabathuthukisi abangaphezulu kwe-4300 okuxoxwe nabo bakholelwa ukuthi i-Google "yamukela umthombo ovulekile ngaphezulu."
IMicrosoft, ngokwengxenye yayo, ithole amavoti angaphansi kwengxenye, ngama-23%. I-Facebook ibine-10% ne-Amazon 4%, futhi ekugcineni i-Apple 1%.
Imibono emidala iyafa
Noma kunjalo, iMicrosoft nayo inikele ngomthombo ovulekile.
Kungaba lula ukucabanga ukuthi abathuthukisi abazi nje ngamaphrojekthi womthombo ovulekile weMicrosoft, kepha njengoba uBrian Rinaldi asho, iphesenti elikhulu lonjiniyela lihlala kukhodi ye-Microsoft Visual Studio.
Yebo, abanye baphakamise ukuthi uthando olusha lukaMicrosoft lomthombo ovulekile luyazenzela. Ngokwesibonelo, unjiniyela uJeff Schroeder, waphawula:
Microsoft inabakhiqizi abakhiqizayo abanikela ngolwazi lwabo ekuthuthukisweni okuqhubekayo kweLinux Kernel.
Kepha ikakhulukazi umnikelo wakhe ubekelwe i-Hyper-V kuphela, okwenza iLinux ijikeleze kahle ku-Azure.
Iminikelo yabo eminingi ivela e-Amazon, lokho kugcina kungakhiqizi okuhle njengoTensorFlow noma uKubernetes.
Lokhu kungenzeka kube yiqiniso noma ngabe wonke umuntu ofaka isandla kwikhodi yakho yomthombo ovulekile yenkampani unobugovu njengaye.
Ngokwengxenye yayo futhi iGoogle ayinikezi i-Kubernetes njengesipho esilula, njengoba kunenhloso yamasu ngakho.
Umbono ushiya iMicrosoft isitha sayo yonke into evulekile, kusho uSteven Vaughan-Nichols.
Kusemthethweni ukuzonda iMicrosoft.
Cishe ibheji lodumo. Ngibhale impendulo kuQuora ngokuphumelela kweLinux ngezizathu zebhizinisi futhi kuletha imibono ethukuthele kakhulu. "UMathew Lodge uphawule.
Naphezu kweminyaka eminingi yokuziphatha okuhle, ngamanye amagama, onjiniyela babambelela kunguqulo ephelelwe yisikhathi ye-Microsoft.
Lokhu cishe kuzothuthuka ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, kepha okwamanje, iMicrosoft kufanele isebenze kanzima kabili ukuthola idumela layo kanye nabathuthukisi.
Izindaba ezinhle ukuthi inkampani ibonakala izinikele ngokuphelele ekwenzeni lokho inqobo nje uma kuthatha.
Ubheja ikusasa lakho njengenkampani yesikhulumi ukuguqula leyo mibono yonjiniyela.
Futhi akumangazi ngoba okungenani kuze kube manje kulo nyaka iMicrosoft yenze ukubheja okuhle ngokuguqula izinhloso zayo ekuboneni iLinux nentuthuko yayo njengesitha ukuze ikuthathe kangcono njengomlingani.
Njengoba uzakwabo eshicilele ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule, iMicrosoft, ebhekene nalokhu kubheja, isungule imithombo evulekile ngemuva kokujoyina i-Open Source Initiative neLinux Foundation.
