You mean the propoganda posted by one of Microsoft's biggest competitors on a foreign website? LOL, you call that credible? Actually, you probably do, since that seems to be close to the extent of your sources.

Why are you always pushing this foreign crap on us? Foreign software, foreign website BS, give it a rest already. Despite your insistence, this isn't like back in the 80's when everyone moved from Apple etc to IBM, or back in the 90's when everybody dumped Netware and moved to NT in nothing flat. If it was, I would probably be moving myself, just like I did those times.

Get real, even according to the best case scenario in your foreign rag, here in 5 years you'll still be looking up at a 2 to 1 Windows advantage on servers, and nowhere close on the desktop. And there are reasons why that is, and all the BS in the world isn't going to cover them up.

I'm sorry you'll have to show me where I said Linux was going to take the desktop or the server market from Microsoft...

As for doubting Oracle I *never* see you question a stat which is favorable to MS even if MS sponsored it but I do have some circumstantial evidence "Red Hat announced a 37% jump in revenue for its fourth quarter compared to the same quarter last year, and an increase of 42% for the whole year ended Feb. 28."

You *still* wont answer the question:

"To be fair, isn't measuring rate of growth sort of misleading when it comes comparing large bases to smaller bases? "

Credibility? He's far more credible than you are. Your posting history since 5/03 proves this beyond all reasonable doubt.

Thus it is wise to keep quiet about one's own misgivings before lambasting another about the same misgiving.
