Perens Discredits Mundie's Attack On GPL

  1. Fundamental difference in Linux vs. Windows Admins by Bruce+Perens · · Score: 5, Informative
    I was at a CTO roundtable the other day. A New York City investment banking CTO was talking about the difference between Linux/Unix admins and Windows admins (yes, Linux is widely employed in investment banking these days). Linux admins script a fix and don't touch it again, they just re-run the script. Windows admins don't script, for the most part. They push the same buttons on each system. This might be a big factor in increasing the Windows TCO. The bank claims they have many more Windows admins per system than Linux/Unix admins. I'll ask the CTO to write an article.
