...Until ms windows can be run on large 64-bit SMPs at least equally reliably and securely as UNIX and Linux do, and with comparable TCO, ms windows has NO CHANCE for any growth in this market. MS is too much tied up in cleaning up their contorted windows + apps spaghetti with meatballs code and they cannot develop a robust and secure 64-bit os for high end machines
I don't think it ever will. MS are in the small-medium sector.
...Personally I am a UNIX person although we are maintaining Linux as well. I don't have to pore over the Linux kernel source, since the patches are generated and tested very quickly by the Linux developers. If I had to look at code I would much rather look at Linux/UNIX source than looking at the spaghetti with meatballs ms windows 'kernel'. And that's the oppinion of everyone who has looked at ms kernel .
Well I'm a Windows developer. What does that mean? It means I've never seen a line of WIndows source code in my life. I don't do OS code, I build applications. For me Windows is a great OS to develop for. If Linux ever becomes a major I'll be developing for it but I made a concious decision a few years ago to go with .Net and not Java. So far so good.
...So no matter if you are pro or against Linux you should be thankful that it forces the other camps to become BETTER.
Absolutely agree. Interesting times.
