They will not have a choice if they want to stay in business. And I have worked with many companies who are absolutely ready to jump ship off the SS M$ at a moments notice. Many are already doing it.

And what you also do not understand is the fact that vendors do not have to release their Linux applications under GPL or open source. That's not a stopper at all. Look at Sybase, look at Oracle, look at all of the other established vendors who have already ported and not GPLed their code, or released it. No one in the Linux world is screaming for Oracle source code (that I have heard).

I seriously dont think that Linux will ever take over, but if it does ever happen I have no problem with using Linux(providing it has support for everything I need out of the OS). I think there is more of a chance of a new software company coming out of the blue with an OS that will have what it takes to overthrow Windows than Linux ever doing it. Only time will tell. This argument is totally pointless because neither you or I know what the future will hold.

For all we know MS may reign supreme for the rest of our lifetime. We just don't know.

Even AMD testified in court that the loss of Microsoft Windows would set computing back over a decade. That is a big chipmaker saying this stuff to a judge...so obviously there is truth in the statements(AMD knows more about the computer industry than you and I combined).

Of course AMD is going to say that especially since they just climbed in bed with M$:

zombie18213813512 continues to claim that other people are arguing when the only antagonist is he himself. He constantly claims people on these forums are being childish when the truth is that he has attempted time after time to turn what was a simple invitation to go and visit MacMan's site into one of his puerile rants.
He won't believe this of course since, like his Christian doctrines, his political and personal beliefs allow him to have a predefined answer for everything. It is amusing to see him decry the qualities in others (which they ironically do not truly exhibit) that he despises in himself, closedmindedness being the most obvious.

Any sane individual reading these posts can draw their own conclusions, after a while though, the repetitive mudslinging gets boring, and i expect that this is actually zombie28314531531;s true motive. To make the forums so boring that nobody reads them.

You aren't even gonna get me going this morning because I'm in too good of a mood.    ;)  

Why don't you kindly go braid Steve Jobs butt hairs with your teeth? According to this post of yours you participate in dirty deeds like that.

I'm off to a more intelligent forum, enjoy your morning people. ;P

each to their own, as i said, i am not trying to get you going, just point out the situation for those who may not be familiar with your posting etiquette.

Glad you're in a good mood, maybe too good to come back here arguing for a while?

Sigh...

M$ has literally made him into a zombie. He has no free thoughts, no will of his own. M$ could start selling cardboard boxes that leak and he would diligently defend them. It is this blind ignorance which has allowed M$ to become the monster it is today.
