Of course! It is now fashionalbe on slahsdot to be pro-Microsoft and to argue their case. After all, Microsoft's software is a paragon of quality, in terms of features, freedom from bugs, security, functionality and speed. We all know that Microsoft's operating systems are the pinnacle of technical excellence and those who continue to argue in favour of other alternative operating systems are young, naieve and not fully business-aware yet. As they mature and become more wise and experienced they will see Microsoft for the peak of engineering and cultural achievement that it is and will relegate their juvenile alternatives to the hobby and intellectual curiosity pile where they belong.

If it's sun, it will have to be all Java based, which means it'll be s-l-o-w and crashy.

Except that this is Slashdot, so it should be renamed as the "Mongolian Beowulf Cluster-fuck technique".
