In reply to Rob Enderle

I have been using computers since 1977. I've seen countless platforms come and go. Almost every one of them had advantages and disadvantages. I am a capitalist through and through. I tend to support computer platforms that don't lock you in to one vendor or another. I like Linux a little, I prefer BSD, I like Windows a little. I'm a Unix Systems Admin by trade, I used to be an NT admin. The one thing I have constantly noticed is the fact that I have yet to meet an NT admin who is trained at any other operating system than Windows. I find it sort of like eating quiche every day, how will you know there is something better or worse till you've tried something different. I want competition, I want many OS's. I want the OS to be largely irrelevant when it comes to which apps you'd prefer to run. In the Unix community, I see that. On MacOSX, Linux, BSD, Solaris, Tru64 Unix, etc...etc...etc... for the most part you can run the exact same applications, thus it all comes down to which hardware platform will give you the most bang for the buck. I also, from a business standpoint, would hesitate to put myself at liability by any measure if it means that I can be penalized $150,000 for each and every copy of software that's not licensed. Especially when most companies, Unix, and Windows alike tend to make it so very difficult to keep track of your licensing. For me, most often open source allows me to mitigate that liability.
