Ok, GG told us not to install Windows 2000 until it had been out for over a year because it would be too unstable, right? Now they're telling you not to install Linux because ISVs might not be genuine. So what *are* we supposed to install? By their reasoning everything sucks so we shouldn't install anything - just sit around and wait until something comes along which they decide is alright...
Sure, I can understand management being interested in GG's opinions (amongst many others...) but actually listening to them??
I remember my dad installing Microsoft Word 4.0 on our XT and us fighting over which was better, Word or Wordstar. After giving Word a go I realised he was right - it was much better. And it was better than any other word processor at that time (for PC) that I saw. Of course, this was obviously a very, very long time ago but still it's good to remember that Microsoft software was once GOOD. It became bad because the company's monopolistic desire.
