OS Wars_part 2: Rise of Linux

It's the 1990s. The empire of Microsoft controls 90% of users.
Complete standardization of operating systems seems assured. But
an unlikely hero arises from amongst the band of open source
rebels. Linus Torvalds—meek, bespectacled—releases his Linux O.S.
free of charge. While Microsoft reels and regroups, the
battleground shifts from personal computers to the Internet.


Acclaimed tech journalist Steven Vaughan-Nichols is joined by a
team of veterans who relive the tech revolution that reimagined
our future. Editor's Note: A previous version of this episode
featured a short clip with Jon “maddog” Hall. It has been removed
at his request.
