Three Enterprise Operating Systems Compared

Posted by timothy on from the or-none-of-the-above dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "Finally, a much awaited review of enterprise OSes. The guys from NW Test Alliance pitted Red Hat, UnitedLinux, and Windows against each other and rated them on several rubrics. Red Hat won by a slight margin on the basis of its high hardware compatibility and strong security integration."

    I mean really? Linux ready for the Enterprise? No one in their right mind is going to use anything except Windows in the Enterprise since it's stable and proven and is THE big name. Don't telly me that Linux fanboy crap about it being more stable because it's open software and security and stuff. That's bull. No CEO is going to bet the farm on it. Microsoft all they way luserz! We will watch your ships sink with your commie hippy hobby program.

    People that say Linux and Windows arnt the same, theyre just wrong.

    Why?

    Because... (we will take the desktop as an example that they claim and shout jumping up and down that its ready)

    1. They target the same userbase. (desktop users) ... SAME
    2. They use the same methaphore (desktop.. windows... icons buttons...etc) ... SAME
    3. They target the same problem space (games, applications... surfing..) ... SAME
    4. Perform operations on files.... SAME

    So what is different?

    Looks the SAME to me. Same shit. different colour.

    Windows 2349 will not only catch you, but deliver punishment as well.

    Hey, that's not funny!

    Some of us are being punished daily by Windows in 2003.
