That's total BS. I made one post several days ago. It was deleted within an hour, presumably because while the first half was on topic, I finished the post with a brief explanation of why I switched to Linux at home, though I still use Windows at work. I tried to keep it fairly polite. The thread I posted to was about the posix subsystem improvements in Vista. They had a nice video.

If there are a lot of anti-Microsoft posts, it's because Microsoft hasn't been able to moderate them fast enough.

If they still exist, they're lying.

"I have Windows desktops and they run well enough (WSUS is a godsend), but here's the rub. I have two Windows servers on the network and they constantly need rebooting. My Linux boxes run under heavy load for months and years at a time, my Windows servers last a week before needing a "pre-emptive reboot". Maybe it's MS's fault, maybe it's the software I'm running on top of it, maybe its both, all I know is that my servers have to just work 24x7 and I don't get that with Microsoft products."

"..I don't get that with Microsoft products." and he never will.

That says it all.
