People don't _want_ to learn a new OS and apps unless they are geeks like we are. There will be one question in thier mind "Why can't I just use M$ Word?" because 99% of the corporate planet knows how to use that. I say et M$ have the desktop. And let's concentrate our energies on the server end. Specifically in middleware, and cross-platform file serving. There's good money in this area without all the HUGE overhead of supporting massive amounts of individual machines and non-technical users who can't understand why they need to "mount" a floppy or cdrom and don't want to understand it either. > >Carl Soderstrom >-- >Network Engineer >Real-Time Enterprises >(952) 943-8700 >_______________________________________________ >Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota >http://www.mn-linux.org >tclug-list at mn-linux.org >https://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list -- Ben Lutgens Sistina Software Inc Sysadmin, Prime Minister of Email, President of DLT Operations Internet RepairMan, Senior Packet Routing Supervisor, File Server Monkey this rest of this space intentionally left blank. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
