RE: Linux is clearly a superior environment David, that is like saying a Porsche is a superior vehicle. Not if you want to haul logs or children. Windows is a rich desktop environment with hundreds of thousands of stable, and cheap applications. MS Office is essentially free with a $600 PC. In what way is Linux superior to that? As a developer, the Windows tools are second to none. How many Solaris based products are developed NT? Quite a lot. If I were deploying Linux apps, I'd probably still use an NT machine for my desktop development environment. So would, I suspect, a vast majority of developers out there. Linux has its strengths, as does NT, and Solaris. At this time, I don't see any of the three replacing the others.
