And still can't back his claims...
As for the servers, what percentage of the Internet servers are presently running Linux compared to MS? Care to even honestly guess? Well over 50% and why? Stability, dependability, and TCO.

Here is a nice tidbit found on at PCWorld's Server Buyers Guide regarding IIS Microsoft's web server:
The weaknesses of these OSes is the need for user-based licensing. Additionally, significant maintenance for security resources is required (there is a history of viruses infecting IIS in particular).
http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/index.php/id;1327251104

I've been running Linux for quite a while now and haven't seen the problems you list. I have never had to manually recompile anything. If I had to spend hours recompiling I wouldn't have stayed with it. Windows on the other hand doesn't maintain or secure itself properly, that is left for the users to do.

FUD we leave for you and your ilk to spout. Linux is growing by its reputation of stability and security, the same reason in fact Microsoft is falling from grace.

Linux distro's don't spy on their users, and not listening to what its users do or do not want in their OS. Go back to MS and tell them to take out DRM & WGA, and to concentrate on stability & security. Who demanded Aero? besides the laughable security everyone is switching off, after the first month or so I bet more people shut off Aero to put their PC's power to better use.

In most if not all of your FUD spreading posts do I see you offer places you are getting your "facts" from. Could this be that they aren't facts at all?
