Tape is so dead, 152.9 EB of LTO media shipped last year

Virtual Tape Storage (deep & legally immune)

Given the retrieval time for anything in ACME's deep storage can take a full day, I'm guessing that involves a guy driving a golf cart deep into the Blue Ridge Mountains to fetch a tape of encrypted data to which a known key may no longer exist. And the idea that such data can & should be deleted for "legal reasons" is absurd. A reasonable NDA (and any related retention clauses) will explicitly speak to the aforementioned archival factors.

>> Linux will be far more compelling when it supports business systems, when it supports gamers, creative

Creative (audio & graphics) is often on Macs, business systems going online, development is huge on Linux, and gaming doesn't normally belong at the office. And if the business is serious about liability and threats, there's regrettably a need for endpoint controls.

>> Oh, and yes, I've been using Linux for longer than you've been evangelizing it for desktop.

What does that mean? That years ago, Linux wasn't a practical desktop alternative? Remember Slackware's interface 25+ years ago, and the floppies... omg, those were the days.
