Star Engineer's Take on Novell's Linux Roadmap
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Thu 30th Mar 2006 19:36 UTC, submitted by Jane Walker
Novell and Ximian "Novell's new SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 is beating Microsoft Vista to market by months, and the Xen virtualization features in the upcoming SuSE Enterprise Server are right on target. In short, Novell's Linux roadmap looks great. Now, can Novell get business customers to travel its road?"

Wait, so because you list a few things that remain in Windows (partly compatibility reasons), that means there aren't "many major changes under the hood"?

That's poor logic, man.

What I list are essential features of Windows, and ones which have caused much trouble in the past. Therefore I say that "under the hood" Vista isn't much of a change.

There are a LOT more major things under the hood. Graphics subsystem, audio subsystem, network subsystem, driver framework, all of which are getting overhauls, and there are more things as well.

I agree thats poor logic. Even Gnome uses a 'regisrty' now. and Linux is full of libararys and dependacy issues.

and as far of filesystem, NTFS is a pretty good fileststem. it has ACLs, is journeled and pretty soon will have transactional support. sure it has to be defraged, but thats not a big deal and its not required.

i have NT 4 servers still running without issue and that get pretty heavy usage. these things are form like 1998.

and linux, is not even compatible with itself, not even same distro stuff.....
