Flint,
this is good reason to *choose Linux*. Note in the article, the failing system described
as "The PCs and server run NT 4.0". Pub date is 1998. I think this is the
precursor to the switch to Linux.

Subject: Is it time yet?
Can we rehash the reasons why we (the US? VT? Small Biz in VT?) are
not ready for Linux or open source? C'mon we haven't gone over this
for a while and thing have changed right?
I for one am doing my bit: biggest city in VT is running Drupal for
their main website. That's a start of sorts.
C'mon, I'm listening to this on the radio thinking of the ad I can
run: "Ready for the next big Windows vulnerability?", "Isn't it time
you considered the system that doesn't barf?", "Run secure and solid
like the US Army and Navy: Go Linux".
You get the gist. See also https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/10/the-navys-newest-warship-is-powered-by-linux/
and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_adopters.
Note this wannacry shit continues live as we speak. See it in
action via the marvels of the internet:
