GoDaddy.com Dumps Linux for Microsoft

RobertB-DC writes "Bargain-basement registrar GoDaddy.com has decided to move all its parked domains to Microsoft servers, saying that they'll provide 'a technology platform that is security-enhanced, highly scalable and easy to manage.' This is a shift away from Linux, a decision met with derision by other registrars such as Gandi.net, which greeted the news with the headline 'Go Daddy and never come back'. Late last year, GoDaddy.com had some 'issues', shall we say, with non-Microsoft browsers."

    I don't think 10,000 outfits such as GoDaddy are going to have a pull anywhere near Google collectively.

    What pull? Financial pull? Does Google using Linux somehow make it more viable, considering they develop all of their own software on top of it?

    Microsoft develops software and OSes that are released to the public. Billions of dollars flow to them daily and 99% of the desktops run their OS. That's called pull.

    BTW, what has Google ever given back to the OSS community it depends on to supply Linux, MySQL, Python, etc.?

  3. Gandhi *HATED* black people. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    His contempt for black people knew no bounds. He was quite vehement in his contempt for them, everything they loved, stood for and aspired to. He was also proud enough of these views to publish them in his own newspaper. Then there are the peadophilia allegations. Mother Theresa was a contemptable bitch too, who, if there is any justice in the universe, is rotting in hell. The difference between Hero and Villain is often PR, and many liberators ultimately aspire to tyranny. Something to remember when we're commissioning statues and pedestals.

    Wait... let me get this straight... we're supposed to give 2 flying fucks about your college professor's beef about misspelling gandhi? What has this world come to?

    GHANDI GHANDHI GANDHI... its all the same. He was just another idiot among the masses who did his own thing. Neat.

    On the 1-10 scale of writing a decent troll post that incites others to argue with you, I give this one about a 3. -1 for the name calling and -1 for the swearing.

    I don't want Webmin. I don't want an additional piece of software written in an interpreted language I need to install separately just so I can escape config file hell. Linux still has one thing missing, and it's why I'm a Windows guru: I'll take my built in GUI, thank you much, and you can have your trolling and your Webmin.
