simple: It’s not Windows.
It’s JUST an operating system, not the all-encompassing bloatware that comes from Microsoft.
And it is free, unless you pay for support.
Would your prefer to rely on the coding prowess and benevolence of one firm (Microsoft) ...
OR
rely on crowd-sourced coding prowess and the attendant frontier justice-like retribution if people put bugs or viruses in open source codes?
I'm still pondering that one.
Intel needed memory beyond the 2G limit plus a real multi-site Enterprise solution.
MS said use Windows Enterprise and pay us big bucks.
Intel said FU and moved to Linux.
Windows at Intel is used for mail, Powerpoint and Excel.
That is about it.
Exactly. Linux can have minimal overhead.
