maybe. like i said, it would be great to see a decent windows desktop.
i can't understand why people say linux is rough around the edges?
our production environment exists of this:
one windows 2000 server and one linux server.
the 2000 server not only requires more hardware and system power, but crashes frequently.
the linux box, running on less hardware uses less power has been up for ~100 days now without a problem...is secure and immune to spyware and viri...
i run gentoo on my sony vaio and everything works with minimal effort. typing on it right now, on my wireless lan at home.
and, before someon says..."well, you don't know how to run a windows server..." these were implemented by the software vendor out of the box.
this is the "way" it is supposed to work...and we frequently have to reboot it, make adjustments and hope it doesn't take out a radio station.
like i said, i'll believe it when i see it.
xp is ok. just hope your legacy software works with sp2.
ours doesn't. and, you can't just switch 100K mission critical software to "get with the times."
