'Sends other UNIX boxes to /dev/null' www4.macnn.com Posted by pudge on Monday April 15, @05:34PM from the unix-shmunix dept. flaneur writes "In light of Microsoft's recent anti-Unix ads and the end of the 5-year contract between Apple, it's pretty interesting that Apple is suddenly running print ads emphasizing the Unix core of Mac OS X. Under the headline 'Sends other UNIX boxes to /dev/null', the ads contain quotes from various journalists praising the OS. But the most interesting thing? There's no IE in the dock -- Netscape is shown instead! Hmmm..." Thanks to slashdot.org

Enterprises last week had 11 more reasons to rethink using IIS: 10 new security holes in the Microsoft Web server and the arrival of Apache 2.0. that is pretty smart advertising, when the Code Red worm came out several months back, Apache companies started a blitz of calls to corps, with an upgrade program from MSFT servers.... as a result, MSFT servers lost about 1% of the internet server market per month for several months in a row until just this month when MSFT internet server market share finally stabilized....... just another well publicized Worm or security breach ought to set the trend in motion again..... too bad MSFT can't actually write good software, they'd clean up in this business, but instead they have to resort to their monopoly practices for any gains...... jon.
