What you cite above is exactly what MS supporters now say about Linux. That's called a "clue".
Linux datacenter servers and 64-bit OSs have deployed. The world is moving on. Even MS knows this as the article indicates. Apparently, you haven't been told. MS is acting much like the mainframes of the 80's hence their closed, propriatary .Net deploying with XP Enterprise server. No one's going to want to put their database on .Net and the MISs I've spoken with currently using MS products have no intention of going there. So where they gonna go genius?
I hardly think you have the knowledge of both MS and Linux OSs that I do. Like MS, you are a generation behind in computing.
