What will happen if IT giants fall?


    November 11th, 2008

    Looking at the financial services industry, something struck my mind. What if IT giants fall? What would happen if, lets say, IBM, Cisco, HP, Microsoft declares bankrupt? Hmmmm…

    1. erm.. then I wont get a job -_- HAHA

       
    2. that is scary… imagine a world without google, without Microsoft, without Java

       
    3. the competitors will gloat over n grab the remaining pie(s) left stranded and in distress :)

       
    4. Well, let’s hope it doesn’t happen! loL~

       
    5. Well, if that happens sometime, the Open Source community will grow up faster!!!
      Since the OSS development isn’t based on the economical factors of a software houses/enterprise, it won’t get affected negatively!
      Since big software houses depend the research and development of new products on the profit they make, the development of new software will become harder for them (not able to spend more money on creating new or improving their existing software products).
      So, the software development from OSS communities will become the solution to this dead end of this “crisis”…
      And then again what about the internet services?This is the only thing that worries me…

      But big corporations could always be implaced by numerous little start-ups from developers that have fresh ideas :)
