3 Macs made it to the list, and Macs are definitely geared towards
consumers, so how do you explain that?
Mac OS X definitely has all the bells and whistles that a "consumer
OS" like
Windows has. I would say Macs are geared towards consumers even more
than
Windows.

Much of the "bloat" you're referring to, Pat, is a result of Microsoft's
attempts to make an operating system that the average consumer
wants. The
average consumer wants 3-D user interfaces, high-definition graphics and
icons, windows that shrink and grow…blah blah blah. It's a bunch of eye
candy designed to wow the consumer.
It's called making something the customer will buy.
Starbucks sells coffee because consumers want it. If consumers suddenly
wanted lemonade, bet your bottom dollar Starbucks would trade in the
espresso makers for lemon squeezers.
The solution? Don't run server apps on Vista. Run them on Windows 2003
Server.

you guys are funny..
Ever heard of Bloat code.. M$ Defined the term.. I would love to hear
the
justification on how I am going to make a system run faster, by creating
more code to run it. Everyone knows M$ is so big it could take a bath in
itself and not know it. Unix is small, configurable, and runs on small
pieces of code. (FAST). M$ runs like a 30K pound hog ! Just use
common sense
folks..
Solaris run with with less that 50Meg of OS ram. Vista uses only 2Gig..
LOL

All,
This is not directly related to the Remedy world, but since sometimes
listers ask what questions about Windows vs. Linux/UNIX, I thought
this post
is then appropriate.
Linux and UNIX are the undisputed champions in the supercomputer world.
There is not a single Windows supercomputer that made it in top 500
supercomputers list
The top 500 supercomputers by OS family:

This definitely must be a big embarrassment for Microsoft, that not a
single
Window$ box made it to the top 500!
