  1. Microsoft's Capability by krackbebe · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    This interview assures me that Microsoft is continuing down the road to success. Based on their past performance, and their constant vigilence on computer security issues (extremely minor incidents withstanding), I will be switching away from some of my Red Hat Linux servers.

    Frankly, the ease of use and support I've seen with Windows XP, not to mention the stability and compatilibilty i've seen have finally swayed me back. Red Hat has a long way to go, and I'll be recommending to all my collegues not to try out this so called operating system. Even more so for the dying BSD lineage. Microsoft is going strong and will continue on into the forseeable future. I can't frankly say the same about other Operating Systems.
