General Unix "UNIX and Windows data-center market share remain neck-and-neck, according to most analysts, but many in IT perceive UNIX and Linux innovation as slowing to a crawl. We interviewed representatives from Apple, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Novell, Red Hat, and Sun Microsystems who were eager to challenge that perception by highlighting areas in which their UNIX OSs are breaking new ground."

The buzz currently in the IT world is that there is a new version of windows called 'Vista' comming out and that this 'Vista' will contain 'innovative' features such as pretty eye candy. I have seen several articles here and at other news sites that talk about new vista features. Couple this with an article which is introduced claiming that Unix is not innovating much, and the 'black and white' comparison is already presented. Not trying to get 'aggrevatingly' defensive.

So let me get this straight-- because website abc.com says Vista will contain innovations, coupled with the fact that site xyz.com says that IT people are saying that NIX lacks innovation... Those same IT people automatically find Windows VERY innovative, without actually mentioning it anywhere in the relevant article?

I'm sorry, but that is bad logic. No matter how you twist it.
