Linux Needs Critics
With Linux slowly seeping into all kinds of industries, Linux people are going to have to get a thick skin. They have to learn to deal with criticism, and--even more important--they're going to have to use it to their advantage.

Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.

Right On, Keir Thomas!
I am an end-user, too. Just your everyday, ordinary, non-geek user who enjoys using his computer installed with Windows XP and Linux Ubuntu 9. I like the responsiveness of Linux: It appears to run faster than Windows when booting up, and it's certainly a lot more stable (far fewer crashes and less memory allocation than WinXP). But Linux seems to require users to have more computer knowledge, such as when adding applications (GL, for example). With XP and later Windows OS systems, you just click and add...and it's done. Package Manager which comes with Ubuntu and other Linux programs may not have the functionality to install certain applications, so users are forced to do manual installs (command line, please!)...I compare that shortcoming to someone running Windows 3.11 vs. XP/Vista! And great software programs like GIMP don't include help sections with EVERYTHING that you need to know to become an expert. I love Linux, but more often than not, I have to use XP, because it's far easier to use and install software. I hope that Linux will move quickly to that point...really soon! That would give me the perfect excuse to stay away from Windows almost all the time....replica bags
