    Here's another approach to the corporate desktop: Each seat is allocated $450 per year for software costs. At the end of each year, the seat-user gets a check for the amount of money remaining in the per-seat account. How long do you think it would take Linux to become #1 then?

    Please give an example of "web server management" that can be scripted on Unix that can not be scripted on Windows.

    Please give an example of "user account management" that can be scripted on Unix that can not be scripted on Windows.

    Please give an example of "firewall management" that can be scripted on Unix that can not be scripted on Windows.

    Please give and example of "hardware configuration" that can be scripted on Unix that can not be scripted on Windows.

    Please give an example of the "75% of it's (sic) [Windows] operation [hidden] from all users."

    Otherwise, quit your Trolling.
