If companies want an alternative to Windows, they should just look at MacOS X.
It is solid, dependable, proven and as secure as anything else out there. TL |

Apple could get some more OS market share if they would release OS X for the i386 platform. I would buy it :)

I agree with #4, but as long as Steve Jobs is consuming oxygen, it will never happen.

| All of the OS's mentioned have their place. They’ll all be around in the future. Choose your OS like you choose your car. Use what suits you best. |

OS X wouldn't be so bad, except it is riddled with security flaws. Wasn't it just last week that they fixed ?14? flaws? And I just read another article today talking about how there's a huge gaping flaw that last week's fix didn't patch up completely.
BSD is good, but its share isn't going anywhere. Sorry, but we only need so many firewalls. |

| I heard Microsoft turned over the rights for Bob to Linspire as part of their settlement agreement. The future is Bob'ed up Linspire PCs, laptops, tablets, and PDAs. |
