Being the "Apple" of enterprise compute (ie. vertical hardware software integration), solving the layers of aggregrate cruft that every single player in the Linux space (including Facebook/Google and other hyperscalers to some degree) have to deal with for compatibility since no one company has enough leverage to clean up poor or outdated legacy decisions in the stack. This is just a bigger market than anything EdTech, and with a real moat. Plus bonafides and actual evidence they are pulling it off, but that's honestly all gravy on top of the market opportunity.

Apple is the survivor of vertical integration on consumer computing, the PC clones were the exception from everyone else in the market.

Apple is now having that aura, only because they got really really lucky before the money collectors shown up at the door.

  • Sure. What's your point with regards to Oxide?

    • The point was it being compared to Apple.

      Why not the vertical integration of Oracle Solaris servers, IBM vertical integration of IBM i, z/OS or z/TPF, Unisys vertical integration of Clearpath MCP or OS 2200?
