What is the current status of operating systems as far as web hosting goes? Here is a quick run down:
.NET/ Mono Factor
> .Net on Unix? Yes. This will provide an opportunity for windows users to use unix to its full potential while not having to switch. Since many Unix distributions are free users will now take a second look. With microsoft users being able to install a wide range of free software and the ability to run windows applications on unix will boost the usage of unix. Microsoft's powerful market strategy is working and they won't be gone anytime soon.
Yup... Microsoft will let Mono/dotGNU stay compatible with .NET just enough until .NET usage becomes more than Java. Then, they will make .NET incompatible with Mono/dotGNU and ship it with Windows. ISV's will naturally then use Microsoft's version (== cashcow), and the rest of the world will be fucked by another MS bait. again.
