OK I am an absolute freebsd pre-newbie (I haven't even installed it yet)
and I just subscribed to some listserves as a preliminary preparation and I
came in the middle of this conversation but here goes anyway.
This whole attitude of "I was just kidding and laughing when I said your
baby was ugly" business is crap. It's not right to come to a freebsd board
(questions no less) and go on some tirade about how much freebsd sucks or
NT rulez. If that's your opinion then great! go use NT and leave, nobody is
forcing you to do anything. It's not your place to come here tell everybody
how much their choice of operating system sucks.
I don't believe you when you say you were laughing and kidding I think you
are a troll and a nasty person who wants to argue just to argue and who
likes to hear himself speak (figuratively of course). It's obvious you
enjoy insulting people and aggravating them rather then trying to help
somebody. As far as I know (not much) this forum is for asking and
answering question. Either ask your question, take the time out to help
somebody or shut up.
As for your main point. I know that there are a lot of stupid and foolish
people in the world, and god knows I have run into plenty of stupid and
foolish business people. But any person who goes shopping for a unix
solution from Microsoft has got to be the stupidest of the stupid. When
Sun, HP, IBM, Compaq/digital, SGI etc have decades of Unix experience and
have the state of the art unix hardware and software. Going to MS and
having to rely on some halfway solution would be enough to trigger a herd
of shareholder lawsuits. Besides it would be a supreme embarassment to
microsoft to admit that NT does not cut it. MS has been saying (lying
actually but for MS there is no difference between lying and speaking) for
years that NT was a better unix then unix and now to backtrack from that
180 degrees and admit that NT can not solve all of your server problems
would be a shameful act. The whole interix deal was not have a MS port of
Unix it was to allow people to port their unix apps to NT and maybe in the
interim run it on NT during the transition. Anybody who thinks they can run
an enterprise app under unix emulation in NT needs to immediately canned by
their shareholders (along with all those CEOS who think they can sue MS if
something goes wrong).
