These are end-user apps. Having them on Windows will not reduce the number of Linux servers in the least.
The only demographic it could possibly affect are those who might consider Linux as a desktop OS.
So, as others have said, the transition will be easy for end-users -- when someone finally puts together a Linux distribution targeted for the desktop that is easy to setup, and easy to install applications on.
This is not a slam. I use Linux and have for years. But the average user doesn't wan't to tweak. They just want their applications to work.
I second this one. Programming Ruby is the first language book I've read in a long time where I actually learned something new about programming. Twice I had to go back to my college textbook Concepts of Programming Languages - once for "coroutines" and once for "closures".
It's been a while since I've done any reading in this area. But I think this is a "hide under a tree in the rain" fallacy. The old joke goes that two guys are out on the golf course when it starts to rain. One guys says he's going to wait it out under a tree. The second guy asks him what he'll do when that tree is all wet and dripping on him. First guy says he'll move to a different tree.
I'm sure there's some fudge factor, but (give or take a few million years)if our star is running down - I bet the rest will be too.
"Mike, you want to discuss nature of humor. Are two types of jokes. One sort goes on being funny forever. Other sort is funny once. Second time it's dull. This joke is second sort. Use it once, you're a wit. Use twice, you're a halfwit."

Five (or was it six?) pages of comments and no one mentions Dungeons and Dragons? Used to be a semi-popular pasttime - and one for which it would be useful to have the tunnel information.
You must be kidding! Both the cmd.exe shell and its scripting language are a joke. You can close your eyes and point in the direction of any *nix shell and find something better.
I've been programming DOS and Windows since DOS 2.1. I know my way around Microsoft's command line. cmd.exe is not worthy.
Cygwin+bash made life on Windows bearable and rxvt for windows is a blessing.
Yeah, right. You've seen the quality of responses on Slashdot. What makes you think anyone in their right mind would want to use Slashdot spew as part of their homework?

I've never seen this MythTV before. I don't think it exists.
Python considers itself? How anthropomorphic.
Do loose faces fall off? Do you have to pin them on with safety pins?
Do you have any idea how much 1Mb of RAM cost in 1984?
Plus, don't forget, he's designing this in 1981.
In any case, not to be overly precise, the answer is IIfx (Too f****** expensive).

If you plant a Windows PC, you get a Glass House. And the first bug to come along will crash it.

Do a google and you'll find others who have emailed this guy. Here's an example:

I'm figuring the exchange is real.
This story is verifiably bogus. Gates and Allen were already in business selling Basic for 8 bit computers at the advent of the IBM PC.
You would compare a shirt that says "Hitler was right" to one that says "Protect our civil liberties"?
Your argument is only valid if the Bush gathering found the phrase "Protect our civil liberties" repugnant.
I notice that FreeBSD now has a scsi emulation layer for atapi devices. Very nice. Might be time to take another look at FreeBSD.
that at this time, 1:51 CST July 26, every attempt to use google results in a "service not available" error.
Just wow.
And Cygwin has rxvt for windows. When you want a decent shell window to run your decent command line in.
Rxvt is the best thing to happen to windows.
My job requires Windows. My sanity requires Cygwin.
With battery life measured in the 2-3 hour range (for gaming), I have no interest in the PSP.
The jury is still out for the DS.
RXVT in the Cygwin collection. Even has background pixmaps.
The DOS box never looked so good.

I grok what you are saying, however the term has passed into the normal English language (even if it's usage is not that common)
So has the word googol.

That was humor you twit.
I saw it the first week it was out. When the first battle cruiser went over, the whole theater went ooooooh.
hmm, would that make God your agent?
No. God is my co-pilot.
