I think it's pretty funny how Bill Hudson, loud-mouth back biter,

Probably because the pathetic fool has NO answers.

You're not operating a Monopoly, and arm-twisting OEM manufacturers into
contracts which effectively prohibit the sale of other OS's
Hope that helps.

But you STILL had to pay for the pre-installed OS, rather than
getting the OS that you really want from the start.
Not to mention the fact that the novice purchaser is not even allowed
to know that there OS vendors other than Mafia$oft.

Please give one REASONABLE explanation for why Mafia$oft SPECIFICALLY
PROHIBITS Compaq, Dell, Gateway, Best Buy, CompUSA, etc. from selling
even one Intel machine with a non-Mafia$oft OS ... without suffering HARSH
financial penalties.

Well, how do you achieve it *regularly* (meaning repeatedly) in just one
year? Do you mean you achieved repeatedly uptimes of 2 weeks (which
would be about right)?

And yet, it never made it to the public, did it.
With as much influence as Microsoft already had at the time, and the
fact that porting network stacks is trivial, the reason that Mafia$oft
never released this "superior" network protocol is ....what, exactly?

I.e. it wasn't fucked up like the products that Mafia$oft DOES sell.

Ok,
1. Jon didn't qualify how many servers he had in his setup, so I
obviously can't comment on that, and neither can you, unless you *are*
Jon Johansen.
2. 1-2 years? FYI Windows 2000 was introduced in February 2000. I don't
know if Datacenter Server was available right from the start but given
that it was, that's 1 year and 2 months, nowhere *near* 2 years. I remain
steadfastly convinced that 1 year is not a good sample size for server
reliability. Now come back when you've had your cluster up and running
for 5 years.
3. The most damaging of all: it takes a cluster of 1000's of machines to
get 5 9's??!!! Better set up an IBM mainframe, that's cheaper and just as
reliable, if not more. Will you just listen to yourself? You need that
amount of hardware to get any reliability out of Windows 2000, and you
complain when people point out that TCO for Microsoft software *isn't*
lower, but in fact higher than a high end UNIX (and I mean Solaris, HP/UX
or AIX here) server?
