Doesn't it seem rather fishy that so many people voted both bad for Linux and good for NT to tip the scales in opposite directions, but not for any of the other operating systems as well? The short reviews by the voters still tell the real picture -- glowing reviews for Linux, and NT gets flushed down the toilet. The fact that almost all of these new scale-tipping votes don't have any written reviews attached to them leads me to believe that they weren't put there by real voters at all. Someone stuffed the ballot box, and I'm willing to bet some money on who it was. :-) -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
