Linux will have its way with MS. I talk to networking pros all the time who run real businesses and they laugh when you say NT. They don't want trouble. Granted Linux seems hard to setup some software on at first but you can do it and tweak and modify it. It isn't about cost, it's about fixing and running the flivver. NT is a huge brutal beast when it comes to maintenance. A gotcha land shark with hidden rows of razor teeth that cut the wallet to shreds. NT Doctors wear shiny suits, have large green eyes, cut out vital organs, and leave you with a bllnking blue screen and a bill with zeroes on it that fill up the page. NT sweatshirts should read " NT Slave - Born To Crash, Money to Burn" So if MS is that much trouble and breaks software and obsoletes it as fast as it breaks it, the public has to wake up sometime. Granted, Linux business models do not impress yet, but things are changing and there is a sub market to business that is going to be completely Linux dominated, and has already made CE an also ran. Embedded Appliances. Companies are doing land office business in that area. The opportunities in business in Linux are multi billiion dollar. It alone can compete by using standards that will eventually knock out MS. Are you writing these posts in Word? So.....? It is evident that one cannot have a MS record for a turntable or a MS comm protocol for a radio or a phone. Proprietary lockups are doomed like the dinosaur. Beta or VHS? But someone has to sit down and write the solution. X is a mess. Trouble to port, high bandwidth and colour map hell. But if a company had the best GUI AND the best underlying server - multitasker that had 20 years of testing behind it.. what would they have? So is it that hard to figure out to put some energy into it? sheesh! EC<:-} mailto:echarters@primus.ca "Solutions to the World's Problems in Several Thousand Nutshells."
