InformationWeek On Windows-Linux Interoperability

Posted by timothy on from the gentle-art-of-misdirection dept.

prostoalex writes "InformationWeek magazine has a lengthy article about the issues that enterprises face when vying for Linux+Windows interoperability, as most of the corporate infrastructures are seldom monocultural. What's also interesting is the InformationWeek surveys of the IT professionals. The following questions are asked and the responses to them are nicely graphed: 1) Reasons for choosing Windows, 2) Reasons for choosing Linux, 3) Top Windows concerns, 4) Top Linux concerns, 5) Top interoperability issues."

  1. I'd like to interoperate with... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny

    How can people say BSD is dying when it has a mascot like this?! Linux needs to get its act together if it's going to compete with the kind of hot chicks and gorgeous babes that BSD has to offer!

    You just can't take Linux seriously when its fronted by losers like these. Would you buy software from them? I don't think so!You Linux groupies need to find some sexy girls like her! I mean just look at this girl! Doesn't she excite you? I know this little hottie puts me in need of a cold shower! This guy looks like he is about to cream his pants standing next to such a fox. As you can see, no man can resist this sexy little minx. I mean are you telling me you wouldn't like to get your hands on this ass?!

    With sexy chicks like the lovely Ceren you will have people queuing up to buy open source products. Could you really refuse to buy a copy of BSD if she told you to? Come on, you must admit she is better than an overweight penguin! Don't you wish you could get one of these? Personally I know I would give my right arm to get this close to such a divine beauty!

    Join the campaign for more cute open source babes today!

    I believe the primary issue in Linux+Windows interoperabiltiy is Windows operability, actually.

    [Microsoft's] Taylor gets frustrated when he hears, as the InformationWeek Research data shows, that customers think Linux is cheap and Windows expensive. "I want to jump out the window," he says.

    To which I reply, Go ahead.
