ah one more thing, linux is great to but i havent seen it doing anything like freebsd,s jails concept, neat stuff without the overhead of a kernel.

i have looked at those, got my mcse back in 99 with server 4.0 and took a class on .net back in 05 and it wasnt that bad but i started with slackware 3.0 back in 96 and i still havent seen ms put out anything except point and click concepts the .net clr was neat and all for a compiled/interpreted language but it always goes back c/c++ if you really want anything done quickly. i thought it was really neat how ms put there spin on c++ and so did stroustrup.

I wouldnt choose that os 15 years ago or now, can we even ssh to a microsoft box from a default install yet? Oh thats right rdp, thats really fun to automate. Let me guess theres a 3rd party app that can automate rdp and record some funny ms session. Dam this topic has got to be a joke lol!
