They appear to be looking for an identity. Well, that's what happens when your the McDonalds of operating systems.
Sure it fills you up temporarily but you don't want to make a steady diet of it or it will kill your business.
The same company who has been trying to kill *nix for years, now says they have a better command line shell.
Sure, one that gives hackers more access to OS critical API's I'm sure.
These are the same people who can barely build a microkernel implementation, can't create a multi-user OS in the last 25 years who now, magically, will have a better *nix than *nix.
The market isn't going to buy that. Neither will any of the real analysts.
When I say 'real' analysts, I'm not talking about the C(ZD)-Net type Microsoft Zealots who worship Microsoft and proclaim that every product that comes out of Redmond is G_d's gift to mankind either.
former US Marine Officer, a Chiropractor by training and CEO of a technology company by trade. Let me tell you what I've seen in Iraq.
I remember (I believe it was 1988 or '89 or so) I was in the Middle East and saw much of the misery ascribed to Saddam myself.
As an XO of a Weapons company in the 3rd Marines, my company was dispatched initially to Bahrain. From there we dispersed to other points.
I remember both in the initial runs and the subsequent runs we made after the Gulf War had started seeing Women, Children and young boys in prisons in the REGSAT photos.
I then dispatched our TOW, 81's (mortars/observers) and STA (Scout/Snipers) to a region in the north not too far away form that village on orders from my superiors (albeit for different reasons)
We were too late.
I will never forget seeing the sightless eyes of dead children on the streets, looking like broken dolls. Their Skin blistered from the gas.
You as an American citizen can vote for whomever you feel to be the most appropriate representative of your values.
Just remember, the choices you make affect numerous generations to follow.
Those of us who are now parents and have children that are or almost the age of service know this all to well.
It's a choice we don't make lightly.
Think for yourself. Don't listen to the pundits or your buddies. Investigate for yourself. Don't give in to irrational hate or loyalty to any party.
Semper Fi,
