I see nothing...
...but conjecture and speculation from you. No hard facts. Typical Linux zealot. Do the Linux community a favor. Stop advocating Linux. You're giving the Linux movement a bad reputation by making unsubstantiated claims.

Yea, tell Google they there is no benifit to running Linux!!!  DonnieBoy | 04/04/05
This independent study says what it says.  ShadeTree | 04/04/05
For small installations, the study might be close to valid.  DonnieBoy | 04/04/05
For all the search engine business owners  seosamh_z | 04/04/05
No, not just search engines. Any webmail, travel, Amazon, Walmart, . . .  DonnieBoy | 04/04/05
You're not making sense  seosamh_z | 04/05/05
We will still need lots of small development shops.  DonnieBoy | 04/05/05
He is making sense  BlueScreen4u2c | 04/05/05
I am sure that Redhat will give huge discounts to cluster users.  DonnieBoy | 04/05/05

They are filtered of course.  osreinstall | 04/06/05
so what your saying is...  jdahs@... | 04/05/05
Well, at least Microsoft can't do it. The kids at Google, maybe.  DonnieBoy | 04/05/05
Do you have any numbers...  ye | 04/04/05
So, you don't know how to multiply? Or you deny that Google runs better  DonnieBoy | 04/05/05
I see nothing...  ye | 04/05/05
So are you denying that Google is more reliable and faster than  DonnieBoy | 04/05/05
First of all ...  ShadeTree | 04/05/05
Man, try Gmail, it is so much better than Hotmail, and MS has had years.  DonnieBoy | 04/05/05
How about www.microsoft.com?  ye | 04/05/05
Still does not compare to Google.  DonnieBoy | 04/05/05
Microsoft.com  ShadeTree | 04/05/05
That is the point, you can run great applications on Linux servers.  DonnieBoy | 04/05/05
Your conclusions are all wrong!  ShadeTree | 04/05/05
So are you denying all of Hotmail outages and security problems???  DonnieBoy | 04/05/05
Try to pay attention this time.  ShadeTree | 04/05/05
Regardless . . .  Sheeva | 04/07/05

More holes than you think  Mack DaNife | 04/05/05
So isn't the fact that you are attacking me ...  ShadeTree | 04/05/05
Assuming it is independent  criderja | 04/05/05
TCO is NOT a factor here  doh123 | 04/05/05
They are talking TCO!  ShadeTree | 04/05/05
Running WinBlows with Linux firewalls  lengua99 | 04/10/05
Your reliability may vary!  osreinstall | 04/04/05
Yes, but did you read, MS will severly limit what you can do.  DonnieBoy | 04/04/05
With that purchasing power I seriously doubt it.  osreinstall | 04/04/05
Dell still pays over $50 for every copy.  DonnieBoy | 04/05/05
RE: Your reliability may vary!  Linux User 147560 | 04/05/05
It will be pretty reliable. 1st release is always a bugger.  osreinstall | 04/05/05
Microsoft not a serious contender  gitmo | 04/11/05
Pure fabrication...  No_Ax_to_Grind | 04/04/05
What, Google buys servers with Windows installed???  DonnieBoy | 04/04/05

RE: Get real  richdave | 04/08/05
Answer = $2,000,000  jjworleyeoe | 04/04/05
That web edition you are talking about comes with lots of limitations  DonnieBoy | 04/04/05
"Probably"?  ye | 04/05/05
You would have to evaluate each circumstance.  DonnieBoy | 04/05/05
Something that you...  ye | 04/05/05
Man, get rid of the religion.  DonnieBoy | 04/05/05
Not Quite True  adsanders@... | 04/05/05
They obviously modify the kernel, but as far as I know it is Linux.  DonnieBoy | 04/05/05
I'm a bit confused . . .  Sheeva | 04/07/05
Are you serious?  jrett | 04/05/05
Ok, look at the search engine if you want.  DonnieBoy | 04/05/05
OK, here is the uptime figures again...  dookie23_z | 04/05/05
Google could not be what it is without Linux  john.gruber@... | 04/06/05
Good points, not just an advantage for them, there'd be no Google without  DonnieBoy | 04/06/05
