Windows vs. Linux (again) (0)

Why did TruKnox opt for a Windows operating system rather than a Linux-based one? In our interview, the company’s Rajesh Monga referred to several factors.
Firstly, the resulting cost of running Linux is not necessarily lower than that of using Windows, he said.
“If I consider my customers as my partners, then this factor, which pertains to economics, is surely a critical one,” he said, adding that a licensing fee is only part of the overall expense (Linux may score in terms of being free) but hardware support is not usually available with the free versions.
“Plus we don’t see a major evolution of Windows’ current operating system before 2011,” said Monga.
