The whole of Microsoft’s Wi-Fi network is going to be power by Linux. As per Computerworld:
Earlier this year Microsoft and Aruba Networks jointly announced the two companies will work to replace Microsoft’s existing Cisco wireless network with Aruba’s centrally-managed infrastructure, which eliminates the need for individual changes on the access points.
Mark Robards, Aruba Network’s Asia-Pacific vice president, said the company’s mobility controller switches provide integrated security, including a firewall, VPN, and hardware encryption, and they are “all Linux-based”.
While Microsoft may say Linux is not reliable, etc, etc.. the usual FUD that it creates in the market, it will be using Linux to provide a reliable Wi-Fi Network.
Preach what your practice Mr. Gates 🙂
