The Truth About Linux and Windows

petrus4 writes "Groklaw has an update on the Laura DiDio saga. Apparently, her complaints about "Linux extremists" notwithstanding, cooler heads than the usual suspects are asking questions about her research. A very interesting read, and one which will hopefully encourage corporate readers to regard the Yankee Group's findings with the requisite metric ton of salt in the future."

This Windows Linux debate is actually excellent marketing from Apple computers :)

Ethics? BULLSHIT. It's called smart business practices. Why spend tons of money recreating the wheel? Not everyone has to subscribe to some selfless utopian view that simply isn't practical most of the time.

You're obviously an upstanding, proud member of the F/OSS world, posting as an AC and all.

Typical zealot, head shoved so far up your ass you'd need a dentist to get it out.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again. Putting Windows admins at work on Linux is an exercise in futility (or sick humor, depending)

hmm, so rather than giving some constructive criticism, you insult an admin who is trying to use linux.

and you wonder why most companies are still using windows.

you linux zealots are all the same...

"12.5% said she was a mindless whore."

Ah, but that was only 12.5% of those who had actually screwed her!

And there's overlap with the ones who called her a stupid bitch!

Your statistics are crap!
