How about the many news articles where "X moves to Linux" whether is a<br>
city in Europe or a school district someplace and then a few months<br>
later you heart that 'they got a deal from Microsoft' to keep Windows?<br>
Those budget decisions are taken by a few people, who are corruptible<br>
or dumb. And the bribe does not have to be obvious, or paid by<br>
Microsoft directly - as an IT director, you'd rather have a big budget<br>
and an army of low-paid MCSEs to keep rebooting and re-imaging the<br>
same rooted boxes than a few experienced but expensive UNIX admins that<br>
can manage the same amount of computing power.<br>
<br>
Plus, Linux started when Microsoft was already entrenched and it takes<br>
a while to fall from 95% market penetration. But fall it does, year<br>
by year.<br>

I'm glad Windows has no faults. Er... wait...<br>
