I usually skim and delete these types of arguments but this one somehow struck a chord - in a dissonant way. If MS is evil then so is every corporation. In the business world, there is just one law, that of the jungle. The most determined and ruthless win; every time... I am a member of a support team that manages thousands of Solaris and Linux servers, from Windows workstations using Putty, TeraTerm, or Sun's SGD. If I insisted on a Linux desktop, I would be out of a job because it is not an option, at this company and all others where I have worked. Here, as is the case at many previous employers, the IT infrastructure is Windows-centric whether for "messaging and scheduling" (Exchange/Outlook) or the general and the IT intranets (IE required). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
