oooookkkkaaaayyyyy "..Mr Veghte also says the functionality of Windows 2003 is far beyond Linux, designed as a clone of Windows NT 4.0, a seven-year-old product. He also claims the total cost of ownership of Windows 2003 is less than Linux..."
WTF!? This guy was either SERIOUSLY misquoted, or has his head so far up his rear end that he can't see daylight. This has got to be the 1st time I have ever heard of Linux being a clone of NT! Oh ok, I see it now, it's a clone since they both use drive letters (C:\>)....wait....nevermind. ;) Mr. Veghte just ruined my day. Adam J.

Since when is Linux a clone of NT? Linux came into being long before NT did. The reason Micro$oft is lying about Linux so shamelessly is because they are very very Threatened by it. I think they are trying to clutch the last straw...... "..Mr Veghte also says the functionality of Windows 2003 is far beyond Linux, designed as a clone of Windows NT 4.0, a seven-year-old product. He also claims the total cost of ownership of Windows 2003 is less than Linux..." This is a quote from the corporate vice-president of the Windows server group. Here is the link to the entier article..... http://news.ft.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=FT.com/StoryFT/FullStory&c=StoryFT&cid=1048313946346&p=1012571727242&E The sad part is that the article is on Financial Times which is probably read mostly by top executives who have very little knowledge of computing. After reading the article they wil probably think why experiment with LInux which is based on a seven year-old technology and let's get on with Window$ 2003-- the 21st century technology. Micro$oft makes me sick to my stomach. --Nash _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
