interesting article but the argument there did not mention
what machines and which os power the services that Linux
cannot ... so, it seems to be just another bias opinion :)
just check what power the complete yahoo sites ... it is
a great surprise ...
so, if linux cannot do it, then windows whatever will definitely fail!
remember what pcmag said and the writer of this article said when
the imac was introduced ... they said imac would not sell, period.
with authorative tone, they blasted everything about it ... so
the pattern is obvious - pcmag should be renamed WinTel Mag :)
