"Steve Ballmer recently revealed the not-so-surprising notion that Linux was
his company's number-one threat. For any other company, this would be a sure
sign that it was finally taking the Linux threat seriously. But for
Microsoft, you can only tell they're worried when the trash-talking starts.
And Microsoft is trash-talking Linux big time."
...
"The company is convinced that it will win its lawsuit on appeal, and if the
Linux movement hopes to be more than just the latest in a long list of
competitors that have been run over by the Redmond giant, it needs to come
up with a better response than its peers from the past did."
Paul Thurrott's Wininfo is an authoritative source for Windows news. Having
followed his reporting for a long while, Paul Thurrott provides fair
Windows-centric reporting (he also manages to come up with a number of
exclusives).

But Cohen agreed the decision to run the VMware technology on top of
Linux, not Windows, is key to a government agency like the NSA.
In a nod to the open-source community, he said that--for the NSA's
purposes--seeing the source code and testing its security is extremely
important.
"You wouldn't want to do it on Windows NT, because you know nothing
about what is going on inside NT," he said.
I couldn't agree more.
I doubt if even M$ programmers know what is going on inside :)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Wrong. EVERY commercial unix I've worked on has the OPTION of building
filesystems with Access Control Lists (which is the PROPER terminology).
Sgi has the xfs, which *IS* available for Linux, and, of course, supports
ACL's.
Therefore, you're WRONG AGAIN, chad...or is that chump.

I: Loren Petrich's 2-week stubborn refusal to respond to the

The retarded sisters: Raunchy (rauni) and Anencephielle (Enielle),

B: Jet Silverman plays the fool and spews out nonsense as a
method of sidetracking discussions which are headed in a
direction that she doesn't like.
