Do you know how hard it is to find a _good_ linux system adminitrator? I mean I'm personally getting there the more I work with it. But I could probally walk into a windows enviroment now and take over with no more training ( I did have alot of formal training during high school and placed 14th nationally for windows network and system administration). Everyone knows windows, linux requires re-training everyone, system administrators, end users, managment? Why go though all of that costs? Total Cost of Linux is much much higher in the long run.

Just Google for "linux windows server tco analysis". Here's a random example.

Good find, while Linux may look dandy and super to a computer nerd, to a company running a million dollar an hour website it might not look as appealing.

How'd we get so off topic.

I think everyone should contact microsoft and request a Forum application embedded into windows Vista. after a couple million request, Vbuletin could have fast sale in the sum of 5 billion ... thats enough to spread out between us ... and keep us all happy with jelsofts new release of forum software ....

maybe im just thinking too hard ... lol
