Mon, 16 February 2004 07:36 thechuckster wrote on Sun, 15 February 2004 23:00 actually, i was also referring to the hardware, i've hardly ever had apple hardware die, apart from 2 post-xmas frozen disk drives (in the industry since '92). but yes your 100% right - it's BSD's stability and proven architecture that makes OS X look good. OS X is just chrome but a Mac is also hardware. Don't Macs use PC hardware? ie: PCI and AGP slots? thechuckster wrote on Sun, 15 February 2004 23:00 actually, nsw RTA (and possibly telstra) are going open source (or sun + lunix) for their desktop environment - and there was a rumour of and NT gov't department doing same... you should soon be paying fines to a gnome running Star Office and Mozilla on their PC. Don't know about RTA, but Telstra are moving to Linux desktops. There are many, many Governments moving to Linux because they don't trust Microsoft/Americans. In fact, China, Germany, and India (and prolly heaps more that I can't think of right now) have their own versions of Linux. thechuckster wrote on Sun, 15 February 2004 23:00 if you compare the server OS market, you find (in # terms) that linux leads. Depends on what sort of server we're talking about, but I wouldn't think so... I'd say the *nixes (like Solaris) still rule in everything apart from webservers. The big thing these days is grids and clusters where Linux dominates over the *nixes because of the cheap hardware it can run on. thechuckster wrote on Sun, 15 February 2004 23:00 however, in my industry (graphic design for print, editing for print/web) PC's are a failure and Linux is predominantly server-only nad Mac's are still dominant. Macs have always done well on desktop publishing, that was their killer app way back in the day. And we all know how hard it is to remove something that's been entrenched in a company's culture. Funny though, the last time I read, Linux was the thing for graphics these days. Almost all Hollywood studios use Linux. Same with WETA (responsible for Lord Of The Rings).
