I feel the need to say this because after reading the post you replied to and reading your post, I've decided your an ignorant c*ck loving mongrel licker. If your *nix install is giving write privliges over your entire drive to everyone who logs on, including guest, then your an idiot and have done something incredibly stupid. I've installed and used, at great lengths, over five different *nix distro's and I can tell you right now that none of them install, default, with privliges wide open like that. In answer to your first counter-point.
1. Security you shouldn't need a seperate firewall for each individual pc because the security in the existing os is so poor. A single firewall at the "demarc" should suffice if your good. More to the point if your so dumb that you would rather install a secondary firewall on your systems just so you can use windows because your too stupid to use linux I have no respect for your opinion whatsoever.
2.I'll grant you that XP has rarely, if ever, crashed on me. The stability is rather impressive for a windows OS and I'll grant them that. Active Desktop still continue's to baffle me though as it tends to crash on a regular basis. The kernel will stay running but the explorer environment craps out and restarts itself.
3.Have you seen a windows fucking Registry? I'd rather write out the bible in my own blood then try and sort through that shit. I'll admit I'm an amatuer and there may be tools that serve you better for this or whatever. Here's what I know though. Anytime your looking for something in the registry, if it's something you need to find to fix the system or correct an error, you'll never find it, needle in a fucking haystack. If it's something your trying to delete out of the registry due to spyware/adware or other similar mondayesque programs, well then it's in seventeen different places under five different names and you'll never get it all. In linux, everything is laid out an orderly fashion and it's uniform. I can go to almost any *nix system and be looking for something dealing with the configuration of the system or an executable that I need and I know exactly where to look everytime.
4. It is a huge deal if your managing a datacenter that requires 100% uptime. My uncle works for an HMO that requires patient data to doctors on demand at any time of day or night. He can't afford to be patching systems once a week and rebooting those systems all the time. Plus you just shouldn't have to since it's been proven that you don't have to with another OS. I would agree with the previous poster that Windows integrates everything far too tightly, requiring a reboot for the most inane and unrelated crap. Imagine installing a new system without ghost, and having to run 23!!! patches to the system to be allowed on to the network. Each of those patches wants to reboot the f*cking system. 23 reboots in a row isn't good karma if you ask me.
5. I don't know what rock you've been living under but I have never once ran an upgrade that has continued to run as smoothly as it once did. Everytime you upgrade the registry is reconfigured to account for the existing data but also allowing the new configurations to take hold. They rarely, and never in my experience, work well together in that manner. If you want reliability then a clean install is almost always required.
You sir are an ignorant, pathetic, and might I add whiney little biatch that should really think before opening his mouth and getting on his moldy soapbox that has most effectively collapsed under you. Oh....and if your going to run Windows over Linux and rant that it's because linux has all these problems....at least have a decent fucking excuse like you wanna play a game that doesn't run under linux. And before you say it, thanks to the people at Transmeta and people like them, a lot of games run very nicely under linux now. This includes, and especially pleases me, SOF2!!!!
