Story: Linux kernel: Moving closer to Windows?
This must be part of the "Get the facts campaign" in which as always MS uses Marketing to "proof" than Windows as product performs well, instead of sound engineering principles to develop a good product.
The marketing assumption that "Linux is moving closer to Windows" as a way to mean that Linux is playing catch up, would really means that Linux will be going down the hill strait to hell.
The MS marketing machine goal is to to cover up the messy reality that everybody bog down in Windows software knows and experience, and that reality is more like hell. In real life MS OS products always feature a record breaking amount of bugs, the extreme level of insecurity, bad qualty and bad design can be judged by the almost infinite number of security holes for which one or several viruses are created so esasily by the minute and the eagerness with with these Win OS swalow whole any virus and chock to dead, causing huge losses to its users, be them individuals or business. This is a fact.
And this is for a product line whose source code is kept secret !!.
So, without knowing anything about operating systems, and not even knowing anything or having experienced Linux, any body logically can reach the conclussion that Winodws OS is a very poor quality product.
In top of the bad qualiity, poor performance, virus hungry features, MS makes every effort to break any possible standard, which forces its users to ONLY use MS products. They are so willing to extend this strategy to the internet by forcing user to use the MS IE browser on Web sites developed and that run on MS software.
Remember their marketing phrase "Where do you wnat to go today ?", it is in reality "Where do you wnat to be dregged today " is not it.
Linux technology, do away with all that crap, once you experience it, as a end user at work, as an Sysadmin, as tech support guy, or even at home; you will know you will never will want to go back to the MS Jail, to experience hell and in top pay dearly for it. You as an individual, or as a business will get back to experience of the freedom to choose, you pay reasonable prices for products and services, you stop wasting time and get the job done.
By using Linux users and business are liberated of the MS forced down your throat, expensive buggy, bad software approach.
So, without getting in the internals (that can not be veirifed since MS is closed source anyway), assuming that "Linux is moving closer to Windows" is just a moromic marketing statement.
