Washington IT Analyst,

I see that the culture of your namesake has rubbed off on your POV. This book is not about blue screens and the author makes no claims that Linux will solve all of your problems. The Windows 2000+ lines are more geared towards business than their predecessors, however, rock-solid stable? You have made a baseless and unsupported claim. Many times, when applying security hotfixes the operating system REQUIRES a reboot - how can this be considered stable by any rational individual.

Why does competition have to imply an anti bias at all?

gnillort is fun, but the facts are better - every time you say NO, it simply is not true.

Practical, senseful and honest.
