Will Munich's Linux Desktops Be Running Windows?
An anonymous reader writes "Remember that story about the city of Munich choosing Linux to power 14,000 desktop computers? One aspect of this story that most people don't know about is that up to 80 percent of those Linux desktops will be equipped with VMWare, a virtual machine emulator, under which they will run Windows and Windows applications. That's right, folks: The majority of those 'Linux desktops' will be used to run ... Windows." This Gartner report from early June seems to be the one mentioned in the article, though I'm not sure exactly where Thurrott gets the 80% figure.

Are you a member of the GNAA?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you may have just been beat to first post by the SJP!
Join SJP (Straight Jew Posse) today, and enjoy all the benefits of being a full-time SJP member.
GNAA (GAY NIGGER ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA) is the fastest-growing GAY NIGGER community with THOUSANDS of members all over United States of America. And If they can accomplish that, just imagine what Jews can do!
Facts:
1. Jews have their own country, one that doesn't suck, like all those African ones.
2. There are a lot of Smart Jews, which is bragable.(click on Science)
3. Whereas the GNAA undoubtedly likes to eat pork rinds and watermelon, we Jews prefer such fine cuisine as schmaltz and gribbenes
4. Jews have been kicked out of more countries than anyone else.
Join the SJP today! Why not? It's quick and easy - only 4 simple steps!
First, you have to be a Jew. Messianic Jews don't count and will be shot in the face. You're Christians. Don't steal our Jews.
Second, you need to be a heterosexual, if you're male. However there is evidence in the Torah that lesbianism is ok with G-D. So Kike Dykes are cool with the SJP.
Third, you need to download Licensed to Ill by the Beastie Boys, because rap is best done by Jews.
Fourth, send an email to SJP4eva2003@yahoo.com listing your qualifications and what you feel you can bring to the SJP. Of course, dual membership between the SJP and the GNAA is theoretically possible, but not recommended.

It's Paul Thurrott, not Thurott.
Windows is still kicking lunix ass. Have a nice day of coding and whacking off to gay porn, fags.
And where can I get some of that shit?
there are many free Linux apps( a great aspect of the OS), which can do the same as, if not more than, many Microsoft apps
You are either naive, stupid, deluded, or a liar. There is no Linux app that is preferable to the MS/OSX mainstay. I dare you to name one.
And before you trot out Mozilla (you're only card, and a weak one at best), I will pre-emptively raise you with Safari and Opera.
Go away, FUD spewing troll.
Yes, that's right, Christian Broadcasting Network. If you want to leave a message for Pat Roberston, this is the number to call.
I'm sure there are some Negroes there, but if any of them (or anyone else there) is G**, I'm sure they wouldn't admit it, even to themselves.
I say what the hell, dial 'em up! Don't 800 number usually charge per minute?
/.: why the hell am I here?
As a minor IT functionary in Deutschland (that's Germany for you Anglophiles) I've been watching this situation closely. It's sad but true, but right now Linux just doesn't entirely suit our needs.
.DOC files are commonly passed back and forth with business/government emails...it's become a defacto standard. Open Office mangles them horribly, I'm afraid. I guess that's it, really...it's all about standards. I wish it weren't so, but Linux doesn't yet have support for many of the standards on which our infrastructure relies, like .DOC, .PDF, or MSHTTP. With the proliferation of .NET applications...what are you going to do?
Primarily, I'm concerned about comptability, and communicating effectivley with the rest of the world. Microsoft
I'd really like to see more Linux on our desktops. I think it's got more potential to integrate granular deliverables, especially in this post-bust economy, but right now MS simply has better core capabilities to enhance transparent web services. Maybe MS will release a *n?x varient of their own, and that will solve our goverment's problems...
Here's to hoping!

That's some original shi'ite.
you are FAR too ghey for your own good.
I ejaculate on your keyboard, faggy.
The business case assumes that many applications will not migrate to Linux; instead, the bulk of applications requiring Windows will probably be Web-enabled and accessed through a browser. Munich will accommodate any remaining applications using virtual machine software, such as VMware.
How Paul Thrrott of WinInfo jumps to the conclusion that the "Desktop" won't be GNU/Linux and that they are really running Windoze is beyond me. I imagine the browser will be from KDE or Mozilla and the desktop will be KDE and that all normal applications, email, word processing, simple spreadsheets will be free and open software. That Munich can also run crappy old windoze stuff is a benifit that's not reciprocated on Microsoft's limited little GUI. Yet Paul would imply that this ablity indicates some kind of short comming in free software, hmph.
WinInfo looks like it was written by a crack smoking Microsoft Public Relations firm. Other nonsense on the same page include dreams of a surge of interest in Windoze as a web serving platform prompted by Bill Gates changing servers for his personal site, a rosy assesment of the M$ empire after failing to meet market expectations, and a piece playing down yet another major security flaw in windoze. There's neither logic nor dignity on that page. I've seen circus posters that made more sense and promoted more reputable things. Hell, I've seen more profesional things on Burbon Street. What does our Anonymous Reader do all day that he might stumble across drivel like that?
Friends don't help friends install M$ junk.
Our Federal Government just awarded Microsoft a nice fat homeland security contract recently.
These guys are a sloppy convicted monopolist with a poor security track record in general.
