It's not for the majority of non tech Window users. What's baffling about it? You don't use ESXi or other hypervisors to run Windows? > You linux jerks are highly insecure and leak in your pants because the > majority of the common Internet users won't follow the First > Commandment of the Tech Religion: Thou Shalt Use Linux. I use Linux to mess with other Linux users, or to hack wireless networks and print porn to wireless printers. It's good for that. Sometimes I pick on dodos with iPhones in Starbucks, and use their WiFi hotspots to do things they get blamed for. Linux does have its uses. > Get F'd. Insofar as using Linux in the enterprise, it's not suitable for managing most enterprise hardware except through CLI. I don't have time to hunt down, debug and apply 50+ dependencies to get something GUI to work on a Linux client where older portable progs are immediately available, tested and working for the Windows OS in use. I still have VMs running XP/2003, 2003 R2, 2008, Win7 / 2008 R2, Citrix, even an old Novell Netware 4.12 server among 30+ other operating systems. What do I use the old Windows based systems for? To manage and troubleshoot old hardware built on early Linux kernels managed by Windows. I have six specially built as VMs on a laptop to travel and troubleshoot with. The problem determination tools are Windows based only. Figure that. Why do I need these? Because the responsible Windows teams upgraded themselves out of their ability to manage the hardware they depend on. Some real brain trusts at work there. My advice to you is learn it, or remain doing Windows only and limit your capabilities of your own choosing.
