So what? Most people here are not interested in Linux servers. Hell, most
people here could care less about Linux/Ubuntu except our resident troll
Alias.

wow so will it help to reduce the price of gas?

If all servers were Linux, yes for natural gas. Often used to make
electricity. Further savings can be realized as Linux can run on power
efficient hardware.

Funny. Most environments I work in/on have Linux servers. Run longer, less
maintenance and higher capabilities have a lot to do with it. Actually,
Linux does quite well in the server market. RedHat and SUSE being the two
top contenders in the space. Unlike Vista, they even work with other OSes.

In case you haven't figured it, Micro$oft hasn't invented squat on the
internet. TCP/IP, HTTP/HTTPS, POP3 and even this news group's NNTP... all
were on Linux before Microsoft anything.

Quite a few companies use Linux servers and other solutions for their
business. That is all good if it works for them. The problem here in the
vista group is that we have so many retards who want to shove Ubuntu down
our collective throats. When someone comes here for help with Vista, Ubuntu
is the last thing they want to hear about.

So if you took your Ford to the dealer for service, would you want the
service advisor to tell you about the latest Mazda? Don't think so.

So why did you reply bashing Linux in this thread?

BTW, Ford owns Mazda. Sort of like buying Vista Premium to find out you are
missing stuff only in business or ultimate versions. That is, Vista Premium
is missing stuff to bait you for Ultimate double dip.

You were expressing your distaste for Linux, hardly a Vista subject. You
are in fact at least as guilty as anyone on posting habits (except for Frank
the troll).

If Vista was a Ford, I could say lemon law.

BTW Ford owns Mazda. Just like Microsoft sells Vista Basic/Home and also
Business/Ultimate. Except Ford does not try to switch/bait customers.
Ultimate will not solve my Vista Premium issues. It is just more piled
higher.
