    Most people don't even talk about MS anymore, bullshit or not Longhorn, or what ever crappy name name they dream up for it next, won't make the corporate world switch away from Linux.

    I'm sorry but not all Brits think that France sucks, I for one think that they make very nice cheese. Shame all the the stuff they send to the UK tastes like earwax though.

    The concept that you are probably missing here is "Marketing Strategy"; the website is probably just one part of a large campaign, these things usually have to be meticulously timed to get the desired impact.

    "you have to decide whether its worth covering them"

    It's obviously not your decision if outsiders have been called in to check your competence and it has been found out to be be wanting. You have to know when these management manoeuvres are coming, don't you people read BOFH?

  13. Re:Good on Linux to Replace Solaris at Duke · · Score: 0

    I don't see why the monolith vs. monolith model is good. The more diversity, the better the chances of finding the truth.

    I can open an average of 14 infected mails every minute, click on the atatchments and have them procreating in seconds, without having to save them, make them executable, then fiddle about trying to get them to run under Wine. Match that on any other OS.
