blogs.computerworld.com — Today, Microsoft is announcing its biggest layoff ever and Sun is quietly laying off the first of what may turn out to be an additional 6,000 employees. Red Hat? Total year-over-year up 17%. Novell? Its Linux sales in 2008 were up by 38%. Which companies do you think are doing better?

I use Crossover, it works great, but does cost money. I use it for Office 2007, and it's not slow by any means.

Yeah, how dare they want to make money on their research and technology. Those capitalist bastards!

I know I'll likely get dugg down for this, but Server 2003 is probably the most ubiquitous server operating system on the market. It's decently secure, decently stable, and really was quite the evolution of the Windows Server system set in place by Windows 2000. Windows 2008 stands poised to make a similar, but slightly smaller approach.I think the most important aspect of Server 2008 is Hyper-V, but VMWare has a considerable install base so it will be interesting to see how the market shifts over time.

Huge dilemma for your average Digg political expert. On one hand, they masturbate to Matthews, Olbermann, Maddow, etc., on the other hand, Microsoft puts the MS in MSNBC.

Microsoft are trying to push their own (quite bad) virtualisation technology now, aren't they?

I have an uncle who works with your mom and he loves it.

I did a quick peruse and didn't see it, it was an honest question chief.

ROFL I specifically said "not joe schmoe using ubuntu at home going onto forums", I debunked your hardware support 'points' AND I find it hard to believe any company regardless of size has a policy of allowing end users to manage their machine. Even in offices so small they just have an on call contractor, they don't manage their own PCs. Oh maybe the single other point is the ntfs3g gui, which I have never used because ext* with facls seems to work just fine for me. If an end user needs to do data recovery from an old drive, then they should be calling support or the IT guy ANYWAYS. This thread is about businesses, not what you do at home.
