It's this kind of mindset that is limiting the penetration of Linux on the desktop. It takes a company leader with vision and guts to take a chance. Heh, that's always funny. You're a puss if you don't ignore the best interests of your business, and instead pour an incredible amount of man

same shit... that i use windows work does not mean i use it home *sigh* Again, since you're obviously even more confused than I thought: the survey is conducted after patching the HL client--on the machine on which the client is patched--no matter which you're installing it on... -- Eric

yep. OSX owns. and surprisingly, OSX server is pretty tight too. If they ported to x86 hardware, the competition has the potential to get serious imho. besides, openoffice is pretty damn nice if apple sunk some money into it, they could come out winning when it comes to losing
