Thankfully it only seems to be a public site, and not any sort of intranet (which I highly doubt has very much Linux on it at all).

Thank God you're wrong.

And on a related note:

Summary:
Mr. Gates acknowledged today that the company's error reporting service indicated that 5 percent of all Windows-based computers now crash more than twice each day.

Hmmmm...

Why, and why? Or was that just a lead in for your M$ jab? Sure looks like it.

Sorry I can't get to your link (it says I have to register with the New York Times, thanks a lot) but I don't think you can post whole articles from NYT on FR because there was a lawsuit threatened once I believe.

In any event if 1 in 20 of our M$ systems was crashing every day, I would have a very tough job considering I manage thousands of them. Actually, since Windows 2000 is on most of our servers now and Windows XP on most of the desktops, things have never really been much easier. That rollout of XP went really good, using their latest upgrade tools made it a sinch.
