Comment

Just a quick question for Lindsey Rockwell: any idea how many licenses agreements have you broken with your instalation if the guessed cost would be nil?

Pablo D: most of the work done by "professionals" in the linux world is done in free time. Which means is neither complete nor polished enough. The "billions" of script kiddies that call themselves programmers do not really count as they only make matters worst, hence why there is virtually no compatibility between 2 versions of whatever "open source" product.

The reality is for anything which is not a simple server windows is much better than linux (please do not confuse unix with linux).

Finally just to not create any flames - i'm not a fan of windows myself, but the alternatives are very close to none...
