For the First Time, Market Adversaries Meet at the Same Table to Discuss the Path Forward; Leading Market Research Firm to Present Linux Growth Projections

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - The Linux Foundation (LF), the nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux, today announced newly confirmed keynotes and panelists for its Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit. The Summit, now in its third year, takes place April 8 - 10, 2009 at the Hotel Kabuki in San Francisco.

For the first time, the Linux Foundation, Microsoft and Sun Microsystems will sit down at one table to debate the future of the respective operating systems. Linux Foundation Executive Director Jim Zemlin will moderate the discussion, which will include Sam Ramji, Director of Platform Strategy, from Microsoft, and Ian Murdock, Vice President of Developer and Community Marketing at Sun.

Linux, Windows, and whatever Sun makes runs on any hardware. The Mac OS only runs on official Mac hardware.

Even if they wanted to, they couldn't attend because of this.
