To the Windows environment it is, granted Cygwin has been around for a 
while but this is new.

Of course a blinkered Linux Desktop user would not see that.

Less of the baby talk moron, you sound like a 5 year old so it's hard to

It's not very compelling, honestly. And honestly Microsoft is seeing the
trend moving away from them and to open source. I thought I recently
read an article which was talking about how open source used to be the
exception in the fortune 500 but that it is now the rule. It was said
that some 78% of companies are now using open source software to run
their vital services. 

Using Linux for their switched fabric and offering hosted Linux on Azure
really just shows the shift at Microsoft. Now we see SQLServer ported to
Linux. .Net dev tools open sourced. And now even on the desktop
Microsoft wants to try to be competitive but I think the mind-share is
already on Linux for open source software. This is nothing that would
cause me to take a second look at Windows. If not for the Adobe suite I
need, I'd not give this any thought at all.

While I agree with that statement I'd have to extend it. Yes, they see
money to be made and they want in. I get that. I guess what I am saying
is that there isn't a heck of a lot of choice at this point. Once the
adoption of open source took hold, what choice do they have? 

As an example, let's say Azure didn't offer Linux instances. Would Azure
ever overtake AWS? And just look at the cloud, Docker, open stack, juju,
open shift, Ansible, etc etc that's going on. If all they did was offer
Windows in the cloud via Azure, would that have any hope at all of
giving them a lead in cloud? I don't think so. 

So yes, they want the slice. But ideally they want the pie and just came
to terms that the pie isn't up for the taking. A slice of the pie maybe
is and that's what they have realized.

Idiot, I admin Linux servers doing real work. Get back to flipping 
burgers, or writing software for Windows on Windows which is what most 
of you COLA lunatics do every day.

Hey now be fair... Gamers use Windows.... And if you need Adobe's suite
and don't want to buy 4 year old Macs with dated hardware for a premium
you might look at Windows, assuming it stops crashing. I guess if I
wanted a honeypot for a project I would have to use Windows... It has
some uses...

Unlike what liars like -highhorse say, we understand why many
reasonable, informed people use Windows.

The Desk Retard marches in lock-step with the "too much choice" troll
party-line.  None of the Linux-haters will step out of line.

From the archives:

"And what this also means is that the allegations and insinuations 
that 98% of the world are ignorant boobs is way, way off base, 
particularly when in one breath a fanboy will brag about how smart 
Enterprise IT Departments are to deploy Linux servers ... while 
the very same IT group at the same company then deploys Windows 
PC desktops to 100% of their employees ... 

Golly, did all of these IT folk suddenly all become 'stupid' and 
'ignorant'?  Or are they still informed as to the pros/cons of 
each use case and have selected the right tool for each job?   
For those too emotionally biased to see it, the answer was 'B'".   


Which also hearkens another old query, from 18 March 2015:

Oh right:  just another pwned drudge who has claimed that they're "forced" to use 
Windows, because he hasn't been reasonably informed yet that if it is the principle 
of not using MS that he could have gotten a job as a 'fscking' WalMart greeter.  /S

Correction, not configure it properly, ...configure it ..Period.


Who can understand 'configure it' if the win 10 was forced upon them????


Bill Gates needs to go back to selling Windows in a box, in a store...like he used to.


Stay away from my Win95...

 the Navy's Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) closed a
$9.1 million contract with Microsoft that guarantees continued custom
support for security updates on the 100,000 workstations still using
Windowx XP, Office 2003, Exchange 2003, and Windows Server 2003.

The full contract could extend to 2017, and be worth up to $30.8 million




I want my xp update.

Rolf you are still an idiot. Who want's Bill watching everything you do 
and then charging you for every little thing. Windoze is slightly less 
idiotic than Linux, but they make up for it with pure greed and zero 
sense of responsibility to human civilization.

A decent OS doesn't exist because I haven't written it yet.

The problem with the digital world is all these things have been written 
by idiots just like you who can't find their own ass even when allowed 
to use both hands.
