Research in this area is completed. Install any Linux distro (or *BSD - you may want to check availability through Netcraft first) and use Mozilla based web browser - Firefox comes to mind as a popular option.
Isn't, by definition, one of the persons involved incorrect, then? There is only one true definition. Deviations from it and thus alternative definitions are caused sometimes due to lack of knowledge. However, in a muddy waters of political practice definition of the established terms (conservative, liberal, etc.) is often twisted by a person or the political party in a totally opportunistic fashion, just to satisfy short-term goals in the current political climate.
This is the reason why we can frequently see completely opposite connotations of the same term, as those who use them are pleased.
Red Hat does. They have offices in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne and I imagine Novell is probably migrating good chunk of clients from Netware to SuSE.
I am in NZ and from what I can figure, trouble with 'slow' penetration is twofold - not enough really big companies to get off the UNIX in enterprise market and make more significant impact on the server/infrastructure end and few attempts of desktop rollouts which proved to be difficult to achieve (people not realising that desktop is a bitch to migrate because of the lack of compatibility with VB apps and proprietary office formats).
Still, I can't help but feel that survey doesn't accuratelly represent the current market situation - there's a lot more Linux in production down here than what they claim.
I have noticed sizeable increase in filterred messages on my gmail account and have done some rough statistics:
- before the increase, I was getting less than 1 spam email in 3 days
- current average (2006): 29.66
- the worst offender: software at discount prices - 47%
- second: various medication (including enlargement pills) - 44%
- third: nigerian-like spam - 6%
- fourth: various lottery win notifications - 3%
Google's filter was inaccurate in only 2 cases. Both are from mailing lists I subscribe to and one of these is definitelly dodgy and hard to pass through spam-filters.
So, that article seems to be another in the series of those that serve as a Gates/Microsoft marketing/FUD/whatever. In other words, pure bullshit.
Their tests can ALWAYS be challenged on so many points that it's just not funny anymore. For a long time I was sure that such a research is part of one of their dodgy marketing plots. I am not anymore. Lying to everybody over the years left them with no other audience than MS themselves.
Seems it's only masturbation - obviously this crap makes them feel good.
FC5-test1-rawhide, with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051129 Fedora/1.5-1 Firefox/1.5 renders this without any problems. I'm using windows qt plugins from MPlayer install and content on that site won't play unless I upgrade to qt ver. 7 but it's not crashing.
WTF are you talking about? Macedonia, or as you would obviously prefer it, FYROM is an independent country, geographically located just between Serbia and Greece. What would their name or territorial claims have to do with Serbia?
BTW, yes Macedonian page clearly states that the OO.org 2.0 has been finally fully localised - kids will use their native language in Office Apps.

Indeed. I wonder what are they going to do with AWB and 300 milion handed over to Saddam, with Howard's approval. Fucking hypocrites. Everywhere.
Nope, they only patented chairs so far.
If this is a policy at NYC, the whole desktop management team should have been fired too, for leaving the game available for users.
I am serious. Mod as you are pleased.
I doubt you'd get very far with persuasion should the other person starts with the correct definition.

...says Anonymous Coward...
No, you do not. Only for those without brains.

Irelevant. Windows isn't either.
LMAO..... I just can't get enough of this guy's comments.

She seems angry, too!

Agreed. Having in mind the article though, you should have used Yugo rather than Pinto to make more appropriate comparison.
Read any of the Practical Guides for Linux, by Mark Sobell.
In this case few zeros, too apparently.
I hope this doesn't mean you're going send CV to Claria now :o)

This senator and you are both crazy.
Will the outcome of this perhaps be an answer to this question?
As it seems some fish like meat, too.

Not too clever, indeed. Just a bad troll-wannabe - gets story published, makes the first post. Come to think of it, you must be Zonk.
Mods, for crying out loud - how can this be offtopic? You scared about this, or something?
