you know edwin, you're just making yourself too hard. what made you to make
some conclusions that i dont use linux for production server? for your
information, i installed lots of linux OS compare to other OS. it really
depends on the needs of a certain system. as i said before, every OS has its
own strong and weak point.

what about liabilities? if something goes wrong with your system and you
loss millions, who is accountable for? you? what about technical support?
beg at your own risk at their own mercy for technical support? that is what
enterprise company is paying for the products they got! now do you still
feel stupid for them? (take note: not only M$ products they are paying for,
big or enterprise company also acquired Sun and IBM products which is more
expensive than M$)

as i said, do what is best for you and to your company. you cant force a
company that has a existing accounting system that uses M$ SQL Server or any
M$ proprietary products that required M$ OS that Linux cant do nothing about
the transition. think about it. its their own money too because they believe
it is cost effective for them.

that is exactly what im pointing here. and i dont see any reasons why you
still call a stupid product that you called it *good*.
