4:1 and dropping.

Strongarm OEM tactics, combined with whatever the EU has to say in a
week or two, Gartner: Recommends AGAINST deploying Windows 2003 in
mission-critical enviroments, Our TCO is less than linux *when we give
you the OS free to try and stopgap the bleeding on the server
market*'We're *NOT* shipping an interim release of Windows before
Longhorn', we're just re-loading windows to make it work properly (where
have we heard that advice before? hahaha)

Its nowhere near the nice tightly looping spiral SCO has dug for itself,
but it is a downward trend.

MS should get the hell out of the OS market, and start spiralling off
into other ventures like they have with X-box etc, and *then* the
overall quality of their other products (like office) will increase,
since they wont be intertwined with a time-bomb of an OS on the desktop.

Ruel Smith <noone@nowhere.com> espoused:
That's a deeply naive view. Deliberately ignoring a 10% portion of
anything if you're in business is bordering on incompetent. Having said
that, the last quarter revenue figures show Linux at 25% (and rising)
anyway. Nvidia's increasingly active support for Linux demonstrates
this admirably.

Btw, I've several via-based machines here which are fully supported
by the 2.4 kernel, so via support is available, even if it's just been
reverse-engineered.

There are 10 senses of the word in that entry so it's not surprising your

If you took the time to follow the link posted with the patch that
allows the VIA drivers to work with Linux, you would have seen that it

It's not that it "will be" a success story, because it already _is_
a success story.

From practically insignificant to 24% in just a few years? Sounds like
success to me.

Cheers!

Clearly not. In fact, in most cases, the inferior product
sells better. Just look at what got elected President of
the United States!

Its not that linux does NOT support your hardware, but vendors do not
release sufficient information about their product so that no-one can
create a driver. If you want to run linux before you buy your next computer
check which manufacturers actively support linux, stick to Intel, Nvidia and
you will have few problems. AMD is Ok but you have to watch the chipset you
are using.




Actually, I think many people used windoze like me, and thought is this all
that an operating system is ? Is there nothing else, more of a challenge?
Hence the migration to a superior OS, one that gives you full control, is
fully configurable and flexible, and has an unlimited amount of software.
