Story: Linux firms rubbish Microsoft's customer win
Posted by: Zaphod Beeblebrox (Tuesday 3 May 2005, 11:44 PM)
I'm a professional (over twenty years experience in a vast array of computer skills) and I choose Microsoft products. Yes, SQL Server is better than Oracle. I was in a shop where we used both products and the Oracle side of things gave us the most headaches and the highest total cost of ownership.
Saying that Microsoft is a dictatorship is absurd. As a user, we live in a time where we can choose from Linux, Apple, Microsoft or OS/2 operating systems. If you do not like Microsoft products, you are not forced to use them. Therefore, they are not a monopoly. Please get a clue.
For the easiest, lowest cost of doing web applications, Microsoft wins hands down.
