It is difficult for me to not pick up the phone these days and make an \u201cI told you so\u201d call to a past client. This guy was absolutely baptized by Microsoft. We were developing some software on Linux and I cannot tell you the number of times I heard \u201cthis would take me 15 minutes in DOT NET.\u201d Naturally I responded \u201cit would run on only one machine, yours, the last Windows user in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0He used to tell me that Microsoft had hired all of these Unix\/Linux gurus and that Windows 8 was going to be a Unix kernel sold by Microsoft which would come fully loaded, sell for $25, and take over the world. I used to laugh. As a desktop I use Linux. For real computing I use OpenVMS because there is no substitute for quality. If it is business it needs a business class OS, not OpenSource.<\/p>\n
