Reg - Has MSFT dominated the Enterprise yet? Depends on who you ask. You've always seemed to think they have. What will a 25 user Unix systems with the same nodes and clustering features cost as compared to Wintel? We've been over this before. Depends on usage. You buy an SGI, Sun, or whatever, and the only restriction on the number of people that can use it is the performance of the system. With Wintel, you've got to buy these damn user licence things. There's no such thing as a '25 user Unix system'. There's is such a thing as a Unix system that can handle 25 users, but it's not the same. BTW : 'Nodes' and 'clustering features' are marketing speak for 'we can't build a SMP box that will meet your needs, so you've got to put up with this programming and maintenance nightmare called a cluster. Sorry'. BTW : Linux is free. Believe it or not, they're lots of businesses using it for database apps, as well as web serving and email. That's a price MSFT can't beat. Oh yeah, the performance is better on the same hardware. -justinb
