Errm that would be totalitarianism not communism, and by that light how did the unprogressive Communist Russia manage to get a man into space before the oh-so forward-looking US.
Did the other 4 PC manufacturers not wanting to buy from Big Bad Blue the convicted monopolist and Microsoft screwing them over Windows 95 licenses have nothing to do with it then?
Ahem. There are 22 million Americans on AOL. There are 100 million Americans using the internet. Therefore, an AOL client, while a nice thing to have isn't as vitally important as some people seem to think. Not to mention the fact that AOL isn't as popular outside the US.
Just like Microsoft have to make a profit on Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, Windows Media Player ad infinitum ad nauseum. Or are you trying to say that Sun are so short of money, that they can't give SO away anymore.
Pedantic aren't you? Of course what I should have said is that you are required to run a GUI of some sort (unless there's a lightweight console-only shell) on Windows, you aren't on Linux. That's how you can still install a RedHat server on a 486, while anything beyond Windows NT will choke (and NT would be a serious stretch).
almost nobody coming out of college with mainframe knowledge
And of course you would trust your Solaris cluster to someone who'd only used a Sun workstation at college/university. Or have you never heard of training?
He's referring to the common clueless assertion that mainframes are crap by comparing JCL (a set of control statements) to awk (a scripting language). JCL does suck, but it's very well documented, unlike too many Unix functions (and no, confusing man pages don't count).
OS/2 failed for more reasons than just being Win16 compatible, such as Microsoft screwing them for daring to preload it, and IBM's major competitors not particularly wanting to give them money.
Could you explain how a competitor to a company with 90% of the market and thousands upon thousands of apps only available for it's product is supposed to compete, except by providing a migration path?

Oh look a Windows troll. Perhaps you should get yourself a sense of humour and stop assuming that I use Linux as well.
The public are not sheep, just badly informed by the media conglomerates. Perhaps you should try informing them instead of insulting them.
So by Microsoftie troll logic it was your fault for not having a UPS on your machine. Or buggy drivers, take your pick.
How is this 3, Funny. How about -1, dumbass.
Yes, because sed and awk take ages to learn whereas rexx and fileaid are simple.
Funny, I've got Win95 OSR2 with IE 4 integrated into it.
If I could mod you up further I would. ROFLMAO and all that :-)

Looking for someone you could actually beat?
Not a criticism of religion just fundamentalism.
Not really because if they can sell crap they don't need to bother making good stuff.
Because your country was founded by religious fanatics and continues to be run by them.

Which has got dick to do with servers, unless the Bundestag has combined secretary/network admin jobs.

Unless you use Mandrake, which has had this feature for ages.
Spot on, except for one thing. You don't have to run X on Linux, you do have to run explorer.exe on Windows.
I get a lot of spam from Taiwan for some reason, and it's all in Chinese. Guess I won't be buying that innovative penis enlarger from them after all.

Could you please link to the relevant statements from RMS and ESR stating that they aren't in favour of people making money. I must have missed them.
I doubt even the fattest of Americans would be able to wear it on a t-shirt. Perhaps a new product line - the ThinkGeek marquee - would be called for.
