If a manufacturer tried that, they would lose the entire ISP and backbone market in a flash. Linux, BSD and Solaris rules that area. Windows doesn't even get a look-in. Next they'd lose the Oracle/Sybase/IQ/any-db-that-matters market where those products do run on Windows (sort of a token gesture, useful for POCs run by the technically clueless) but anyone with a brain does the real work on Unix. It usually takes just one phone call from the right person and an entire corporate can switch from vendor X to vendor Y. It's scary to watch. -- Alan McKinnnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
