That has to change, and soon. There's no cure for a shortage of bandwidth except more bandwidth. Lay the fiber and light it. > Right.

But for servers, UNIX has an edge in many situations (not so much Linux). For the masses, Windows is best; if Windows is not available, then I suppose Linux would be better than nothing (but not much better). > In the Indian Scenario, a handful of *BSD users are considered Wizards > and non Microsoft OS implies Linux.
