    They seem to not have problem dealing with the multibillon dolar programming error called Windows, maybe being there will help to put the facts in perspective.

    I'll ignore your two-bit typo and refer you to the section on this page titled "coding errors on both platforms", since you're allegedly interested in "perspective"

    Open Source is to Closed Source, as Hive Societies are to Kingdoms; one clearly is better than the other and I think we can all agree which one it is.


    How ironic, the inflexible mindset of the OSS crowd. I'm tempted to let your arrogance stand and fall on its' own; but I can't resist citeting out a quote from the linux advocacy site Linux Myths .


    Q: Linux? Isn't linux just for computer snobs who sit on irc chat rooms all day and pat each other on the back?

    A: Yes, there is no small amount of 'newbie' hostility and arrogance in the linux world. However, to counter that, there are a good number of people involved in Open Source who are friendly, helpful and aware that the most important consideration to any computing choice is using what gets the job done, and not blindly clinging to ideologies

    The college is very Microsoft-centric, and therefore I should have known better than to pitch PHP & MySQL to them, but I could not pitch anything else because I am a firm believer in the quality of PHP.

    Inflexibility is yet another trait that linux users need to come to grips with. As it says here:
    One of the common problems associated with the linux developer community is its' inherent inflexibility. While holding on to paradigms and methodologies that pre-date the modern computing interface isn't limited to Linux, Linux developers seem particularly prone to being unable to think outside of the box and consider newer means of problem solving.

    That Microsoft URL is obviously biased. Check out this site for an unbiased comparison.

    I hope you're joking. But if you're not, maybe you should consider printing this out and showing it to whoever makes the decisions there?
