I am all for best tool for job. But if it weren't for unix there
would be no internet. I hate to see people go the ms route as I see
it as quicksand. Don't go proprietary.
BTW, I sent the author of the flash article a note. He replied that
he had been chastised plenty about reference to unix geeks; he
admitted he was referring to the wrong group.
What I see happening now is that the people with no imagination, no
spunk, no awareness outside their little world are given the job of
creating intranets or internets or extranets (I can't say networks as
that implies closed standards as opposed to the internet which
implies open standards).
And I don't believe that intranets are different because you know
your audience. Who says that everyone in a company must use windows
or dos or mac or unix or linux or ... or that everyone must use
netscape or ie or opera. I wouldn't have those restrictions in my
company.
