In these cost-conscious times, businesses are eager to hear Dell's value proposition. The company's first-generation "blade" servers hold the promise of reducing infrastructure costs, says Charles Oliver, director of global IT for Eastman Chemical Co., the $5 billion-a-year maker of chemicals, fibers, and plastics. Eastman standardized on Dell notebooks and desktops five years ago and recently decided to move software that controls manufacturing operations at about 40 plants to Windows-based Dell servers to save money. "We're very happy that Dell has a blade server strategy," he says.

At least this manager is not idolizing Bill Gates like the guy from Telsra was Scott McNealy.

I'm very happy Dell has blade servers too. Except I run Linux on mine. Every server that I bought from Dell in the last two years came with RedHat.

You misunderstood what I quoted. That Eastman (5 bln dollar company) has choosen Windows to run it's operation processes.

Thats great, we could spend weeks naming different big companies that use windows/linux/mac/unix it is pretty pointless. Especially since we already know that MS has a bigger market share in many areas.

It was a response to VoidMan who posted last week article from australia about some company over there switching to open source.

Duh, lot's of companies choose Windows, where have you been? And I don't believe the article said that the company switched from Linux to Windows now did it? The number of companies choosing Linux are on the rise, not decline. Look at the server sales figures from any of your favorite PC server vendors.

Well when I see something with "bob" in the username I know that I would get another bad language and behavior of the 5 year old. At least other people who asking make 30 hours days long etc are 15 years old, it's understandibale but bering 21 and acting like a kid is not.
Did not your momma told you that it's bad to swear?

Who the fuck are you to tell anyone how to behave or what is right to say?  Your the one that came here, no one twisted your arm, if you dont like it then get the fuck out.  Simple as that, but going around telling people they act childish is somewhat childish in itself.

You used word "fuck" again. Does it make you happy or something? Do you feel better now?

[trc3]

Maybe it does, do you have a fucking problem with that?  What is it to you what anyone says or how they talk or anything they do for that matter.  If I want to use "bad language" or "act like a 5 year old" thats what I want to do, asshole!

I think you get a kick out of it.
Please enjoy using any words you want and act as you want if it's make you happier man.
So I can not comment on your behaviour, how come that anybody else here comment on mine? It's not just that, with all profanity it adds up a lot to intelligence.
Please use word "fuck" again when you would reply, I'd really enjoy it.
