Comment GUI Vs CLI (Score 1) 933
For the reason most Unix / Linux enthusiasts love CLi so much, to a point they hate GUI associated with it. While GUI is what is exactly needed to penetrate masses - reason why MS became so popular, and with steady income growth in '3rd Tier' countries more people can now afford Apple products - again GUI based (plus glamourous image of Apple" that Apple is consistently doing well.
My point is, that an attractive design is to hardware, what GUI is to software. Apple does both very well.
Its the late development / awakening of GUI relevance that made Linux loose out in addition to geeky image that it held for years - still does.
On Servers, CLI is fine.

To find open doors to Indian market will take care of any R&D costs of any nature for any pharma company. "6% royalty on net sales every quarter to Bayer" - given this fact, they'll probably reach their break-even sooner. Really, healthcare system in India is much better than in US. Not be given exposure to markets like India and China, Bayer will die its own death in US. Forget morality, its simple economics.

Irrespective of wether you use Windows or not, thousands of Windows PCs around the world are sold everyday by multiple vendors backed by hardware / software warranties. What happens if Windows 8 fails ? Nothing. Windows 7 will cascade the failure until next product refresh. Tablet or PC, is not a question faced by CIOs for 90% of their workforce still. The fact in case that Windows 8 works great, if happens true, is immaterial!
