hey unixsucks, you just don't get it do you? Microsoft sucks morally and monetarily. Take a look at
this link. You don't even have to deal with client access licenses with linux. Damn near everything on that page linux can do for FREE! And you don't have to pay every year for it. But if you would like to pay 1,000 dollars for Win2k server and access for only 5 people (heh heh, just 5 people, god that's crappy), then go ahead and stick with MS. And if you want to deal with the PR department from hell, who has a record of taking their sweet time to put out a fucking patch and bundle it into a service pack to make you pay AGAIN, while everyone else puts out patches in the same day the vuln was publicized, stick with billy. I sincerely hope you like palladium when it comes out, because you are starting to sound like someone who would take the pain from MS and enjoy it. Hope you're saving up for the next version of windows! Before I forget, to answer your question to how linux blows windows away.
#1. Unix is what the internet is based on.
#2. Unix doesn't have the same virus problem that windows has.
#3. My box is much more secure than windows. If I don't want to give users access to a certain hard drive, they wont have it. Can that be done in windows? Not if Word 97 (2000?) is installed.
