No shit sherlock. Anyone can write an app for windows, and wether that app is documented properly or not isn't up to the OS, but the developer. Problem is with Linux, a piece of the OS that runs an important service that you need isn't documented well- so now its up to you and google to find a solution. How is this enterprise-level? Please explain...You Linux guys need to realize not everyone is anti-corporate like you and will never adopt such a trainwreck of an operating system. Bottom line is standards are what make a product useful to the masses.... Windows does it -- Linux DOES NOT. Windows is popular, so everyone knows it, it's popular so it's SUPPORTED, it's popular so small-brained mammals hate it (aka penguins, linux fanboys).
If vendors support what everyone is using, then why do you think only limited vendors support Linux? There are way too many distros for them to waste money supporting. What you guys need is a leader, one distro that is Linux that vendors can support. Oh wait, that would be againt the Linux creed...wouldn't it?
I'll explain why it's better than Linux for the population. Case in point, I work with many Linux fanboys & the other week it took 3 guys a total of 72 hours to get a printer to work. During the 72 hours I can't tell you how many google and forum searches we're used just to find a damn driver. Unless you're a diehard Linux guy, Linux is NOT the OS for you. Windows has the standards & driver thing nailed, but being the biggest comes with a price.
Another reason Open-Source is not Enterprise ready. Ever tried using open-source framework to design a sellable, supportable product? It's a nightmare because Fred who wrote the source is no longer with the company, and all the other open-source guys either don't care or don't properly document thier code. There's a reason software costs money- You Get What You Pay For.
By the way, I'm using Safari to type this post. Sheesh.
We blocked the auto-install on our school district simply because the security in IE7 is much too complicated for our typical end users to deal with(teschers, principals, etc) All of the web-based applications that we use simply DO NOT work out of the box....significant security modifications are needed just to make the apps function.
Our standpoint was a training standpoint. Once the training and testing is done WE will control the deployment of IE7, not microsoft.

Holy Shit. Stop posting worthless dribble. BFD your computer sucks ass and the HDD blew. Maybe if you weren't downloading reality TV shows like a drama-addicted Jew your HDD would still be operational.
Sheesh, STFU already!

My client recently purchased 40K Apple iBook G4 Laptops. Once deployed, the machines were curiously setting themselves to 1969. Found out that there was a bug in the systems' BIOS, (not sure if that is the traditional term for the MAC firmware) that would loose its time setting. Similar to a PC when the BIOS battery goes south.
So from a 'time sync' security standpoint, this bug may potentially need patched?

now that this has been slashdotted its only a matter of time before Chinese officials find a way to circumvent the circumvention (is that even a word?...)
good going tho, im all abouts free speechez n stuff...
Great view, think I'm going to rasterbate it and hang it up. But does anyone else think some of the rock protrusions look a little TOO square? I always thought eons of erosion would leave the rocks a little more rounded...oh well

I see what you did there
Finally, a story I can actually USE
Thank you Progman3K, at least one of us here on /. has a brain and can think for him / herself.
I, for one, welcome our new robotic chair overlords

So, if this study shows that 1/3 of ALL studies are nonsense, then wouldn't that make this study 1/th nonsense?
