Re: Just goes to show
Yep, Linux is less than nothing to Gates... That's why SCO (owned by Microsoft) is in court in an attempt to get *ROYALTIES* from the Linux/BSD users. He isn't afraid of Linux or BSD. He is afraid of the whole free software movement.
You know there Woodbridge, it is great to live in a gated community but it can insulate you from reality. Clearly that has happened to you, I'm sorry.
Look I'll take my linux servers over our Microsoft based servers *ANY* day. I literally can run three times as much traffic on 1/2 the CPU, in 1/3 the ram. I've been building servers for about ten years now, all kinds, IRIX, Solaris, NT, 2000, Linux, BSD... nothing performs as poorly, behaves as strangely, or uses resources as in efficiently as a Redmond product... Don't try to tell me it is all the security checking going on under the hood, ok?
Microsoft's update servers are very spotty out here on the East coast today.... You don't suppose that is because the user base you are so proud of are out there finally doing their updates, do you? Microsoft failed to plan for the capacity... If they can't build a decent update network, what does that say for the operating systems themselves?
Believe what you want whether it is only as much as you can see from your gated community, or it is reality, you are indeed welcome to believe whatever you want.
I'll believe what I SEE. I SEE Microsoft's update site had problems during the last patch/worm/patch cycle. I SEE Microsof's update site is again having problems during this cycle and in three days the worm is going to whack them... People can't update because the update site is flakey (loaded) and the worm is busily trundeling about the network from one Microsoft box to another... At least cannibals only eat one another in this scenario.
Tell you what though, I'll make you a deal. I'll sell you a better OS at 1/2 the price and I'll give you the source code as well... ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LEARN HOW TO USE IT.
