"...everyone knows about Red Hat Linux, but not everyone is a Sun fanatic..." -- biased comments such as that do not equal intelligent Examples
Ever heard of Star Office? hrmmm.. free suite ? (IMHO a *very* Great Thing) or should I go buy a $400 retail suite? Consumers will catch on in due time.(Invisible Hand at work) Also, Sun is going to open Solaris (whether or not you agree with Sun's *specific* open source plans for that is a separate issue.. ) additionally they very well could be planning to make a version of their Solaris OS aimed at average desktop users (another -great thing- to happen). And we all know what a splash Red Hat has made. It's no secret that Red Hat Linux is getting more and more userfriendly with each new release.... (It's *Free*, *another* *very* great thing!)
It most likely was not optimized, while the NT box most likely was. A study on Something like this needs to be in the educational sector - not the commercial sector - in order to be taken seriously.
The Government should not break up Microsoft. It would ruin the software market. At this point, anyone can come out on top. The software model is moving towards open source. Companies like Redhat and Sun microsystems are marketing superior products for Free. It's only a matter of time before microsoft will be forced to go open source, or give their software away free. If the government breaks them up, then that will deter Companies Like AOL/Netscape and or Sun or maybe even Redhat getting together and making great things happen (*Definitely* to the consumer's advantage!!). Go away Government, Alexander Keyne's invisible hand has got *all* under control!
