Linux Making Inroads, But Not At Windows' Expense

zaphod123 writes "According to this article, the stories about Amazon (and others) switching to Linux have been misrepresented. The Linux install has replaced a proprietary Unix system, not a Microsoft Windows product. This is still "A Good Thing" for Linux, but not the downfall of Microsoft that some have foreseen."

    'Damn, we didn't hit Microsoft! Oh well, I guess we'll just have to ask Osama then ..'

    What is up with the Anti-Microsoft attitude? Are all Linux freaks nothing more than a bunch of crybabies who hate Microsoft? Pathetic!

    Yet another reason to skip Linux and head on immediately to *BSD, Solaris or SunOS for instance...
