'After polling 1,400 IT managers and CIOs in SMB corporations,
The ones we got out of our registeration records who are only using windows.
This group
The group hired by Microsoft to do the survey
found that 48% were not interested in Linux,
Because they already paid for windows
15% were not sure about Linux
Becuse they never thought about it before.

Because they will get a discount from Microsoft for taking the survey
Despite this, two-thirds of all webservers run Linux. The disparity in these numbers comes from the fact that most smaller companies' websites are hosted by service providers running Linux servers even if the company itself isn't."
"My my we didnt know that. We thought they were windows based."
Cant have it both ways . Either the levy is going to pay for the copying or copying is illeagel so they cant be charged the levy on blank media. I have a feeling the recording groups wont want the levy on blank media stoped.
So if they take out all the things that make XP require more ram and prossessor speed. Wont they in fact have windows 98? Whats the sense in upgrading? Eye candy?
How often dose the avrage windows user install software? Not that often, unless you count malware. Its easy to switch users , install the software, and sitch back when you have to.
Ok finaly a subject I know something about. My background is that I repair fax and copiers for a major Chicago copier dealer. I am curently trained on over 25 models of fax and 20 multi function or fax/copier/printer all in ones.
First off most faxes have whats called a junk or spam fax number blocking list. You will have to read how to access it for your fax , but they all have it. Simply add the number to the list and no more faxes will come your way from them.
Second if you want to pay this person back I have a way designed to hurt someone bad. Simply make 5 copies with the lid up on a copier, this will give you 5 black sheets. Next tape them end to end . Put tape on the end of the long black strip. Insert it in your fax and dial the number. As the lead edge comes through the scaner tape the lead edge with the tape on the end creating a loop. Leave this send for 5 or 60 mins.
On the other end black sheets will pour out and will not stop. If done on a thermal machine the print head is toast. Best to do it in the middle of the night as no one will be there to unplug the fax.
