Actually
What I wrote was "much longer than 3 years" and I agree with you that 3 years is nothing and hardware is not a fashion accessory.

How about holding USERS accountable ...  George Mitchell | 12/04/04
Hey, George, according to Axey ...  Judas I. | 12/04/04
Hey, Butterball, Linux can do lots of useful stuff ...  George Mitchell | 12/04/04
Oh yes! I agree:  Judas I. | 12/04/04
Ax likes to be the voice of discouragement when it comes to Linux  George Mitchell | 12/04/04
Hogwash...  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/05/04
Right on, George! "Hogwash," Axey?  Judas I. | 12/05/04
OButterball, you aren't qualified to say anything according to me.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/04/04
What? You say you're not worth quoting?  Judas I. | 12/04/04
At least get the "Quote" right, leave your words out.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/05/04
Now, how can I get the "Quote" right ...  Judas I. | 12/05/04
Then don't try. See, easy isn't it?  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/05/04
Okay, remember to tell your kids that "the birds and the bees" ...  Judas I. | 12/05/04
Go ahead, we'll watch. Need the comedy. (nt)  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/04/04
Yup, yer right, Axey, ...  Judas I. | 12/04/04
Someday you will figure out I am...  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/04/04
Darn tootin' Axey!  Judas I. | 12/04/04
Politics? Leave them at the door please.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/05/04
Oooo! Even BETTER, Axey!  Judas I. | 12/05/04
most patches are related to IE  JasonL31 | 12/04/04
No mention of this in the article  GregSalts | 12/06/04
Okay...  IT Scion | 12/05/04
Ya know, that's just ignorant  warped1 | 12/06/04

re: Just another GOOD REASON for a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT against MICROSUCKS  Wolfie2K3 | 12/06/04
LOL  IT Scion | 12/06/04
Crying  BlackDiamond | 12/06/04
One thing is for sure. If you use any of MS's  bjbrock | 12/03/04
Well  IT Scion | 12/05/04
3 years? That's nothing.  Zogg | 12/05/04
Actually  IT Scion | 12/05/04
OK, I'll concede that I misread what you wrote. (NT)  Zogg | 12/05/04
Not quite sure you're correct.  bjbrock | 12/05/04
Good point  Spoon Jabber | 12/06/04
I agree...  IT Scion | 12/06/04
NT's been around a long time  Chad_z | 12/05/04
Pressure to purchase a new product?  GregSalts | 12/06/04
Upgrading from NT4 is slightly more difficult than buying a new TV  Zogg | 12/06/04
re: Upgrading from NT 4...  Wolfie2K3 | 12/06/04
Installing a Home Theatre system  GregSalts | 12/06/04
Don't recall needing any help for mine...  Zogg | 12/06/04
Goodbye NT4  p.j.hutchison@... | 12/04/04
Hello OS X  Immanuel Tranz-Mischen | 12/04/04
Why say goodbye to NT4?  alterego_z | 12/04/04
They had free support?  CobraA1 | 12/04/04
Just like the corner crack dealer:  Judas I. | 12/04/04
Just like Red Hat you mean.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/05/04
Oh yeah, there's DEFINITELY an element of that there:  Judas I. | 12/05/04
Gee, and I thought we were talking about servers.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/05/04
We ARE talkin' about servers, Axey!  Judas I. | 12/05/04
You run Fedora on a working server?  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/05/04
Oh, more than ONE, Axey!  Judas I. | 12/05/04
I feel sorry for your IT department then.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/05/04
LOL, I AM the IT department for a couple of these ...  Judas I. | 12/05/04
Uh huh, sure you do. Buwhahahaha  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/05/04
Axey? Sit down, my son ...  Judas I. | 12/05/04
No_Facts, Fedora is not beta (wrong again)  Richard Flude | 12/05/04
Isn't that what you do, No_facts_to_find?  AmusedAtItAll | 12/05/04
I'll bet there are plenty of companies out there running Fedora!  George Mitchell | 12/05/04
A bit off topic, No_facts_to_post  AmusedAtItAll | 12/05/04
Excellent!  Linux_Developer | 12/04/04
Yes, iti is a Win-Win situation.  hal9000mx | 12/04/04
Or maybe  Spoon Jabber | 12/06/04
And I win!  Linux_Developer | 12/06/04
A sign of the times ...  George Mitchell | 12/04/04
Hmmm, do Linux distro's charge for support?  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/04/04
Uh huh, and it's actually WORTH something, ...  Judas I. | 12/04/04
One man's posion...  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/04/04
" ... is another man's meat."  Judas I. | 12/04/04
does linux charge for known patches  JasonL31 | 12/04/04
No, they make you upgrade the kernel.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/04/04
Do you mean like 2.4.27 to 2.4.28? Or 2.6.8 to 2.6.9?  Zogg | 12/04/04
You obviously haven't upgraded a Linux kernel  George Mitchell | 12/04/04
We agree on one point.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/05/04
Are you confusing a distrib iteration with a kernel upgrade?  B.O.F.H. | 12/05/04
An upgrade is an upgrade.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/05/04
There is a difference between a systems and a kernel upgrade.  B.O.F.H. | 12/05/04
Hmmm, bot h require taking the machine off line...  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/05/04
You wasted a whole thread bashing Linux for that?  B.O.F.H. | 12/05/04
Wasted? No, it kept simple minds busy.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/05/04
Well, it kept your simple mind busy...  B.O.F.H. | 12/05/04
We needed some humor...  AmusedAtItAll | 12/05/04
Do they? lets look  Richard Flude | 12/04/04
Not related  IT Scion | 12/05/04
But will your NT4 apps work on W2K or XP either?  Zogg | 12/05/04
But  IT Scion | 12/05/04
Except  Zogg | 12/05/04
I see your point  IT Scion | 12/06/04
In my experience...  Yen_z | 12/05/04
Not related - if you close your eyes  Richard Flude | 12/05/04
Bad argument  IT Scion | 12/06/04
What?  Richard Flude | 12/06/04
Well  IT Scion | 12/06/04

Nice spin  IT Scion | 12/06/04
Ok lets follow the thread  Richard Flude | 12/07/04
Phone numbers please.....  GregSalts | 12/06/04
Do these MS newsgroups also provide patches?  Zogg | 12/06/04
If patches are available, usually a workaround is given  GregSalts | 12/06/04
I believe you, but...  Zogg | 12/06/04
MS support  IT Scion | 12/06/04
we need to make up for lack of sales of xp  JasonL31 | 12/04/04
spelling flaws  JasonL31 | 12/04/04
So then why do you point out others typos?  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/04/04
have i ever  JasonL31 | 12/04/04
Now they have gone too far  Squawkbox | 12/04/04
just think if there is a flaw in activation in XP  JasonL31 | 12/04/04
Finally, kill it already!  IT Scion | 12/05/04
Hear, here.. Kill them all!!!  AmusedAtItAll | 12/05/04
Really  IT Scion | 12/06/04
No, Linux distros all include the GNU Compiler Collection already.  Zogg | 12/06/04
Actually  IT Scion | 12/06/04
Newsflash!! Lack of flaming on ZdNet!!!  Zogg | 12/07/04
hmmmm  IT Scion | 12/07/04
Oh, I wasn't talking about *you* flaming...  Zogg | 12/07/04
No don't kill them all  FilledOut | 12/14/04
Linux (all versions) support to come at price forever.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/05/04
Thank you for bringing up the Windows-Linux debate...  Linux_Developer | 12/05/04
Just pointing out all OS's cost for support.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/05/04
Eh? I'm not paying for support for my Linux machines.  Zogg | 12/05/04
And here is the No_Facts key  Richard Flude | 12/05/04
And that is what you use for working servers?  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/05/04
No_Fact_to_Find just keeps on shilling...  AmusedAtItAll | 12/05/04
Actually Yes  Richard Flude | 12/05/04
Ax, you know that was flamebait.  Linux_Developer | 12/05/04
Of course there is a reason.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/06/04
Yeah, that sounds better  Spoon Jabber | 12/06/04
Yeah, that SOUNDS better  Spoon Jabber | 12/06/04
What does this have to do with Windows NT support?  B.O.F.H. | 12/05/04
Simple comparrison of options.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/05/04
I think you just using this forum to bash linux...  B.O.F.H. | 12/05/04
And what you think matters to me why?  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/05/04
Not true at all, No_Fact_to_Find  AmusedAtItAll | 12/05/04
And your point is???  AmusedAtItAll | 12/05/04
And when the price of Windows support goes up, Linux looks more attractive,  George Mitchell | 12/05/04
Paying for Linux support is optional.  Immanuel Tranz-Mischen | 12/05/04
TRhe way to make money with open source is services???  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/05/04
Uh Oh Axey, you just slapped them with truth.  Commonsenseiseverything | 12/05/04
Let's see, did it ever occur to you ...  Judas I. | 12/05/04
NoCommonSense is the one that got slapped  AmusedAtItAll | 12/05/04
How do you know...  Zogg | 12/06/04
That's just what I was thinking  Spoon Jabber | 12/06/04
LOL.  Linux_Developer | 12/06/04
See, I told you no one would even try.  Commonsenseiseverything | 12/05/04
What? What?  Judas I. | 12/05/04
Yup, it IS kind of a fun contradiction:  Judas I. | 12/05/04
None of us free software people are complaining about MS decision  George Mitchell | 12/05/04
Are you sure of this?  AmusedAtItAll | 12/05/04
Personally, I don't care either.  Zogg | 12/06/04
What a clown  Richard Flude | 12/05/04
Nice spin...  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/06/04
I'll assume that was an honest question...  Linux_Developer | 12/06/04
Honestly though  IT Scion | 12/06/04
So how does this compare to  FilledOut | 12/14/04
