Sorry, I just have to jump back in here one last time. Anthony Atkielski wrote: > Your example is very atypical, however. Nobody asserts that Windows is a better > server or timesharing host. On what planet does nobody assert that Windows is a better server host? (let's face it, timesharing is a non-issue.) You seem to be investing a lot of energy in debating the mouse that is squeaking about FreeBSD being better than Windows on the desktop, all the while ignoring the 800 pound-gorilla with the big stick that has been devoting the majority of its abundant resources over the past ten years in trying to make Windows the dominant, or better still, the only operating system for server applications. And, some might even say, succeeding. And yet, by you, "Microsoft is right, for the most part" in divining their customer's needs and providing the right product.
