A British tech consultant has launched an unusual project that puts tech buyers in position to do something largely unheard of in tech circles: wrangle price cuts from Microsoft. The Incubator Club guarantees anonymity for tech buyers wanting to evaluate Linux. Founder Eddie Bleasdale of consultancy Netproject got the idea after helping the London borough of Newham test Linux desktop programs last fall.

Once the hallmark of a laid-off dot-commer, the job title "consultant" is now legitimately paired with "Linux." Linux consultants, often called in to supplement the in-house staff of large corporations, are also finding fertile ground in the growing number of small businesses seeking powerful and cost-effective IT solutions that let them compete with bigger firms.

EBay Spawns Niche Market


EBay Spawns Niche Market 03/19/2005 03:09 AM
Who says that innovation off the Web is dead? It turns out that eBay has given birth to a neat little niche market that allows people to drop off their stuff to a brick and mortar environment. OK, the idea is sound for now. But is it anywhere near as recession proof as eBay itself?…

Linux on the desktop at IBM 11/15/2003 07:50 PM

Spotted on Slashdot, IBM's Open Source Desktop - Directions for today... and Tomorrow presentation includes one slide that really caught my attention:

To continue our own journey to becoming an on demand business, IBM expects to migrate our internal desktop environment, where appropriate, to open standards based on the Linux platform.

Of course, depending on how they define "appropriate" this could be a lot less exciting than it looks. Still, it's a pretty huge boost for the Linux desktop movement.
