Re:Time to jump on the bandwagon (Score 1)

There is a fundamental difference between jumping on the NT bandwagon and jumping on the Linux bandwagon: a steering wheel! With MS you have no control, no influence, you're just a pawn in the developer control game. With Linux you're part of the solution.

After re-reading my comments, I'm embarassed by how bad they actually sound. I don't want to advocate dropping any alternative development of any kind. I do feel that a lot of time is wasted bickering over petty differences between projects. I feel that Linux stands the best chance of actually improving the lives of software developers and users, mostly because of the hype. So, I feel my effort is best spent there. I'm sure others will disagree, but I feel that at this point and time there's an opportunity to cement OpenSource software in the mainstream, and we could blow it by squabbles like this.
