Oh noes!!!!1 I use a operating system that a big 3% of the population use, why wont all the giant software makers bow down for me?? I know if I ever run the evil M$ Windoze ill burst into flames and jesus will send me to hell, please.. for the love of jesus retool your entire package to run on linux!
Quit being a rebel, install win98 on something (you dont even have to pay for it!) and run TurboTax. Its not a conspiracy, its just Inuit not completly retooling something to run on an OS used by 3% of the population.
and, if that is too much, there is always WINE

Yeah, prior to 2.3 and 4.1 Solaris was less than stellar. But the early versions of all OS'es blow. Look at win-95 to ME, look at the early Linux kernels... linux had its growing up time as well.
Im talking about now... Solaris 10. For christ sake, your saying that solaris isnt viable because it wasnt stable when it came out in... 1990 with those standards we would still be pounding away with CP/M or something.
As for the obligitory Microsoft bashing, yeah. There are some applications where I couldn't see putting in a 2003 server. Amazon.com is one of them. Big difference is that Amazon.com can pay to have a fleet of technicians maintain the system.
Windows isnt even made to target that market segment, its made for offices and the like. Windows sucks for webservers.
Whatever, All that matters is that Linus Torvalds is funny looking.
Linus is arrogant in that he is willing to overlook decades of innovation developed with someone elses time and money.
I know solaris is on its last legs, been using it for years. however, the ends doesnt justify the means. Sun has been rock solid for years before Linus even dreamed up a kernel. sun has made all the mistakes so linux doesnt have to. Just because you dont use someting verbatum, doesnt mean you cant get ideas from it.
If linus is looking to make Linux into a viable OS in this lifetime, he should really search out every recource there is.
omg!!!!111 we can use cuite standins for actual words, how professional!
Well, ill just sit here and use my Micro$oft Windoze and my Interweb Exploter because bill Gate$ tells me to.
There is a reason something is the number one OS on the planet. It works.
Maybe one day if you can convince someone to give you a real IT job, you will understand about standards and uniformity.
He has the nerve to write off software that has been around for decades and say he isnt interested? Youd think someone so concerned with the future of Linux would love to pour over the Solaris code and see what mistakes they've made and where he can improve. Its shocking to see him just toss all that experience aside as "a joke"
this kind of attitude is what makes me avoid Open source alltogether, nobody is willing to work with each other, its all one big pissing contest.

Dont read too much into this, you might hurt yourself
no, i answer blatant stupidity with common sense.

if you actually read my article you will notice that he doesnt say that, rather i infer from his comments this conclusion.
Yes, and you're a dickhead who has contributed nothing to the computing industry.
UR MOM!!!
Thank you so much for not jumping on the bandwagon.
Yeah, there are alot of things that Windows sucks at, but you gotta give credit where it's due.
And, Microsoft does have quite a large budget, however they got that money by selling alot of operating systems, not by magical money faries.

man, Linus's arrogance is quite outstanding.
