A Continued Look at Linux vs Windows

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday November 28, 2005 @04:36PM from the taking-a-step-back-to-really-see dept.

Rogier van Vlissingen writes to tell us Paul Murphy has an interesting writeup on his blog about the continued Linux versus Windows debate with regards to some of the recent insights provided by various groups. From the article: "Disinformation comes in three major forms: innocent mistakes, intentional disinformation (aka FUD), and (self) delusion. Delusions are easily the most dangerous of these. In the IT context the most common delusion is simply that what we know is right in general or applicable to some specific issue when, in reality, it isn't. We know, and we act accordingly - with frequently catastrophic results."

Look, no reason to debate. Microsoft wants their money and market share. What works for you may not work for me, no reason to yell at each other. Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, UNIX, Solaris, HP-UX, Windows, MacOS, whatever, if it works for you it works for you if it doesn't it doesn't.
