Okay let's make a bullet list of reality instead of a bullet list of self-congratulatory masturbation.
- That "silly reinstall thing" is exactly for NOT well-maintained stations. If one maintains well an XP or 2000 station, it can run at top performance for years and years, SP after SP. - I have stations that were migrated from 2000 to XP, and others that were migrated from XP to Vista, without any reinstallation involved. The upgrade options are there, and they work a lot of times. Not every time, for sure, but a lot. - "Supports more hardware" is a very different concept than "runs on anything". Besides, each OS has it's own place. Why in hell would I want a Windows OS on a router? Not only that, but the whole "running linux on everything under the sun" is also debatable. - She clearly doesn't know anything about Windows OS's. - She also haven't heard of BartPE either, which really amazes me. - Read previous bullet point - Has she ever heard of "cmd" ? Or maybe even PowerShell? I don't think so. - There is software RAID on Windows, and it works in an ok-level. Linux software RAID is definitely much better. - For Windows there's NTFS. Period. It's tightly integrated with the system and works. - Virtualizers that are crippleware? Again, doesn't know squat. - Another item that's just ignorable. Anyone care to explain something that falls into this category? - Without fear? LOL!!!! definitely NOT one-click and NOT without fear on Linux... - Does she really think DELL would install by hand each pc that's sold with Windows? Seriously, is she for real? Never heard of Sysprep? damn.... - She might be just as careless as someone else I replied to earlier... - Compiz is cool indeed - Agree with the multiple workspaces, disagree with the rest for more than obvious reasons... - Anyone care to explain on this one? I thought java tools would run everywhere... - Linux is definitely NOT for beginners. Intermediate, yes. - The cost is one of the differences that come with closed source software. The rest is debatable. - ??? is this about clustering? - read above Again, each OS has it's own place. But before all, if you must really make bad comments about the other, you better know both sides to make comments that make at least some sort of sense. On Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 2:05 PM, Roger E.
