Windows With speculation of a ship date for Windows Vista ranging in the second part of 2006, word has surprisingly surfaced that it can be expected much earlier. BusinessWeek has received a copy of the internal blog of Chris Jones, who is a top Windows executive. The blog states that the code for Windows Vista will be completed by August 31, giving Microsoft the opportunity to place Vista on PCs for the 2006 Christmas season.

Because installing Linux on a Mac Mini is like putting a Pinto engine in your new Ferrari.

OS X is years ahead of Linux in terms of usability, applications, user friendliness, and all of those wonderful things that make users of OS X go "I love OS X".

Is it because he is paying for managed hosting ?
If so, then it is up to the hosting company to decide what to run the servers on, not the customer.

Most people buy Macs for OS X. If you're just looking for another box to run Linux on, PCs are much more affordable.

And no, I didn't mean that. Why ruin a great thing like the entire Mac package by putting some clunky and disgusting like Linux on it?

As for hosting, I don't really have a choice about the OS that my provider runs, do I? If you can find me a FreeBSD host that provides the same thing as 1and1's Business package for the same price, I'll gladly switch. :-D
