Now, after nine years of FUD, lies, and the ignorance
that
fostered, some client's now have a legitimate reason to run Windows. Yes, I'm
pissed about it. I may be forced to run something incomplete and messy (Linux) or
something half-assed (Windows) but I don't have to like it. Every time I show a
warp system to a customer or friend they allways say something kin to 'how the hell
did this stay a secret?!' and 'why is anyone running windows'!!.
Why did this happen -- because MS controls the desktop apps in 90% off
the corporations.
I wonder if IBM dropped Lotus Smartsuite internally yet.
My old group in IBM Global Services was on Win95/Office95 because the
client used it.
Bet it's gonna be an MS world until they get forced to change.
