from the article: >>Schadler said. "You might argue that if it wasn't for Microsoft (Corp.) we wouldn't have Linux >>because Unix was good enough. As soon as...Windows started to get good enough for enterprise >>workloads, the ability to run Unix on that same (Intel Corp.) price point was very important." what kind of "enterprise" is this guy running that he can talk about Windows being good enough for enterprise workloads? must be a mom and pop shop, or he is simply testing his ability as a standup comedian. And the final part of the sentence doesnt make any sense to me; anyway, thanks for the link and for a good laugh.
