Re: Just use Linux and be done with it!

You clearly don't work in IT or you would understand that "just making a Linux distro that all existing Windows software will run on" is a pipedream.

You also dont work on the business side, or you would surely realize that investing billions of dollars chasing said pipedream, and throwing away a healthy business to run with the challengers and with no financial upside is probably not the wisest of business decisions.

What industry do you work in, and why the fanatical obsession to convert everyone to Linux? And to save you the trouble of responding, yes, yes, we know that "Linux is the most used OS in the world" (if you count Android, fridges/freezers/Hoovers, grandma's purple pleaser... (which most people don't)

>> because what they make is non performant and just does not scale and is closed source and lacks security and is not modular non portable etc

I have a lot of time for Linux fans that make sensible, fact-based claims, but repeating your unsubstantiated claims ad-nauseum on almost every topic gets a little wearisome...
