crazy letter

You forgot to misspell that.

Oops, I might be up to an hour late to this.

Yeah, I am getting back to seattle from the Linuxfest at exactly 7

As you weigh the costs and risks of Windows and Linux, consider this: More and more independent analysts and leading companies find that Windows Server System outperforms Linux on TCO, reliability, security, and indemnification. Get the facts, and make the decision that's right for your business.

After a year of attempting to develop an online retail presence using Linux, Tommy Hilfiger had made little progress. The company had six months to complete the project and, beyond that, had to address a set of legacy applications that no longer met its needs. Working with Cactus Commerce and Columbus IT, Tommy Hilfiger met both goals by standardizing on Microsoft® software, including Microsoft Windows Server System™ for the Web site and Microsoft Business Solutions–Axapta® (now part of Microsoft Dynamics™) for global enterprise resource planning. With its new solution, Tommy Hilfiger gains a unified information infrastructure that extends from the company’s online presence to its global retail and wholesale operations and upon which new applications that improve business capabilities can rapidly be deployed. Tommy Hilfiger anticipates new business capabilities, an estimated 25–30 percent decrease in IT operating costs, improved competitive advantage, and an additional return on investment through compressed product design times and supply chain optimization.

Linux is a much stabler server system compared to windows.

    Computer Ability

        * To install and keep a Linux system working at its best, the user(s) must be a proficient with computers and should ready to be hands on (aware of possible vulnerabilities).
        * The responsible person should be used to Unix type commands. A working knowledge of Unix is useful because some work may be needed to be done in a non-graphical environment.
        * Programs that are not provided as a package or binary require a more adept computer user to install.


    Security

        * As with any clean (initial) system install, Linux security needs to be tightened to make sure any malicious attempts to gain access to a computer will be in vain.


    User Friendliness

        * The installation procedures for Linux are getting better but are not as refined as Windows/MacOS.
        * Graphical interface has progressed, but still has some issues that have not yet be fixed.
        * Not all distributions are the easiest to administer changes. A select few have graphical interfaces for their administration.
        * Inability to use the Novell Distributed Applications.

If Windows didn't have a price tag, what would you get? Linux lovers are crazy. Windows, is a much better system, not only because of its greatness compared to linux, but also because of its inner godliness. Macs are the best though. They just are, iTunes may not be the best software, but Mr. Noteboom has a Mac ( a laptop Powerbook G4 ), and who doesn'y agree with Mr. Noteboom?

Something I found on a Linux supporting website
The three reasons for using Linux are
1. I can afford it.
2. Penguins are Kewl
3. Because I can.

NOne of those are good reasons.

I agree with Linux on a server, but I can't see it on a home desktop, as the greatest idea. Especially when MS cost $30 bucks in our area, and Prime card holders can get 17% off apple comps.

Why, why couldn't i be older so i can go to E3?
