Ballmer Admits 'Linux Changed Our Game'

wackybrit writes: "We've all known Linux has got Microsoft all worried, but they've always denied it. On Monday at a conference in LA, however, Steve Ballmer (of Microsoft) confessed that the FUD surrounding Linux isn't quite what it was made out to be. The Register has also covered the story in an easier to read fashion. They point out that Microsoft has just changed a page on their site which originally derided Linux, but now simply states what 'Windows does better.'"

Unix admins cost more than MCSEs, too.

I guess it's true - you do get what you pay for.

Yes, and remember that TCO is totally another matter. Would you take pr0n peering kiddie watch out for your NT farm, or a motivated nixXor (this is what i've observed -- mcse:s overdose pr0n, while nixXies code).
