Vista Licensing Speeds Linux Move

Stephen Samuel writes "Australia's NSW Office of State Revenue is speeding it's transition to a Linux desktop due in part to a lackluster interest in Microsoft's attempt to lock them into the Software Assurance Program, reports LinuxWorld. The agency's CIO and manager of client services both confirmed they would start scoping for a move to a Linux desktop within six months. Manager Pravash Babhoota seemed satisfied with a Linux move in their back office, citing Linux costs as being just over 1/6 the projected cost of a Windows upgrade, while processing doubled."

Vista will be released and everyone is going to migrate to Linux. I'm sure Microsoft is shaking in their boots.

Listen people, only Mexican corporations will migrated to Linux based on licensing costs. The rest of the world doesn't give shit.

I will continue to say whatever the hell I want, when I want, where I want, however I do like to point out that that comment was way too detailed for me to even make. I do not even know enough about Linux to intriciately describe all of the Quake3 setup that person spoke of.

The irony being his comment was an anti-linux comment made by someone with far more linux knowledge than myself, which merely vindicates my position that I have better things to do than to recompile my kernel.

But to write a script to attack someone who's viewpoint you don't like? Get a fucking life. There's much better things to be attacking than some random guy who's opinion you don't like.

AGAIN, NO, I DIDN'T WRITE IT.

It's nice of you to include a link to my blog. I see you've been doing your research.

You are neglecting some very important details, however. IF YOU RTFBP (Read The Fucking Blog Post), you will see that I begin it by saying, "This came from an anonymous slashdot comment."

I was reposting it, because I thought it was brilliant.

That doesn't mean I'm the one who originally said it.

I don't say things as AC because, unlike some people, I have balls.

(No, that page isn't mine either, but maybe it will entertain you enough to leave me alone. His Christopher Reeve page is hilarious; I highly reccommend it.)

Hi, I am glad you at least think everyone can say what they think. Whoever attacked my blog sure didn't. And comments get mailed to me and my wife, so we both got our inboxes flooded because someone else wants to to opress someone else that they thought was me.

I guess I'm just collatoral damage. Like a civilian in Iraq who gets bombed because they might believe in Saddam, but are otherwise innocent of any wrongdoing.'

I think automated comments of any fashion are pretty annoying. Although the GNAA stuff is kind of funny in a highly-annoying away.

And yes, I can see how it would be easy to suspect I was the author. Though I suspect in reality the real author is too clever to ever accidentally put a signature into an anonymous post. Also probably too automated to do so.

Glad you like my opinions! That's rare :)
