Let's see.. Just about any 2.4.xx kernel dist of Linux, with or without LSB can, if I track down the libraries, run just about any Linux program written.. I have the sources, right?

On the other hand.. We have MS Win 95, 98, 2000, ME, Server 2003, NT 3.x, NT 4x, XP & soon to be XP-64.. and I am supposed to believe that across that field, Microsoft has greater interoperability?? I don't think so! And neither does Microsoft.. look at their 'warnings' about 'upgrading'.

MS/Sun busy pointing out advantges of XP/Solaris over Linux shows one thing.. Linux has them Both scared.. sweet irony.

It said Win 95 or better so I used Linux!

Its the applications and device drivers that run on windows that cement its dominance. How many people would fork out hundreds of pounds for Vista if Linux ran all the software and kit they wanted to use.
