Here is the story from Linux.org: http://www.linux.org/news/2004/10/05/0009.html
I just want to know what everyone thinks on the issue. What will all of us
VB developers do, there isn't much of an equivalent language in Linux?
Any comments?

That doesn't scare Microsoft, but the fact that AT&T and other organizations

Hi Christopher, Besides, Microsoft is just not doing anything innovating
like what the Open Source community are doing.
Can't you see the irony of typing something like that into a ".NET"
newsgroup? Lose your ignorance my friend, then you'll lose your fear. Good
luck! Ken.

> Security is not the only arguement here.
You also have costs (HUGE factor) and reliability. You can't argue much
there.
Yes you can... Just becuase linux is open source and *free* to download
certainly doesn't mean its free to maintain.
Read up on VA Linux... There's a company that tried to go public with it...
failed...
Cost is still there, it just has a new name "maintenanc e agreement"

Cor,
Personally I'm indifferent that Christopher did not respond, as I consider
the fact that AT&T is considering Linux desktops a non-issue.
Personally choosing Linux over Windows is akin to picking BMW over Mercedes
or picking Ford over Chevy or picking Honda over Toyota. In the end they
both get the job done, does it really matter?
Especially with projects such as Mono were you can run VB.NET applications
on Linux?
Just a thought

Christopher,
You should read the whole article. Mr. Eslambolchi stated in the
later part of the article that he may not switch at all. Just because
someone is researching something doesn't make it a done deal.
I have researched Linux for several years now to see if it is viable
for my clients. As it exists today, it isn't. Maybe that will change
in the future, and maybe not, but the fact that I have been
researching the possibilities doesn't mean anything in itself.

Just curious if all know who owns the patent on the FAT file system?
Microsoft of course. Second quesiton, what file system does Linux use? FAT
of course!

Linux doesn't use just the FAT file system, the OS can use ReiserFS, XFS,
NFS, and Ext 2 or 3. There are even more filesystems that Linux can use. The
only common reason people used Linux on the FAT file system was when people
wanted to dual boot with windows 95/98/Me without repartitioning.

I just want to discuss the Linux operating system. I never meant to argue or
to offend anyone.
I don't understand why you have to say I am trolling, I consider that very
disrespectful.
