On proprietary issues vs. open-source...

Linux over Windows...

Cisco may develop new Office-based software...

It ain't lookin' too good for M$ these days.

I wonder how many of that 1% are all server drones.

But I digress... Windows still works best, easiest, and with the most hardware; I find it funny that in an article talking about being "non-proprietary" they still tout Apple as being the great savior with rising usage rates. That's fucking gold.

That, and it's on a fucking geek website. Grains of salt.

Not just that, but they seem to adore Ubuntu as well.

I've tried various Linux distros and a lot of them aren't bad at all (but certainly not enough to prompt me ditching XP)... and Ubuntu has just been a breaky piece of shit.

My install on this computer hasn't broken yet, though, which actually surprises me.
