Like i said, the only reason all these agencies use linux is because they are strap for cash. Linux is a poor man's OS. Even then it is simply at the mercy of the fair trading laws. If it wasnt for these laws, MS would probably bring out their own free OS. Linus and such OS are like the last resort. No one really wants them unless they simply have no other choice, because they have no money.I dont know whether to lawl or weep uncontrollably . . . My only consolation is that you aren't an IT guy or an economist, apparently . . . else I would weep and stay away from corporate sponsored UAE, lmfao.
Edit: Also, Microsoft uses Linux, would hardly call them strapped for cash . . . http://www.crn.com/software/18839747
