Now I have images of doggies doing "adult" things in my head.
I must say, I came to the conclusion long ago linux was incompatible with commercial interests - and certainly my personal desktop interests - but didn't really know if it was just me being a dinosaur and being wishful about all the effort being expended would be better spent on real unix. I feel validated with Mladen's "carnival of vanities" post.
I still find my own biases seem out of step with reality anyways. NT was VMS redux, Xenix --> SCO was a Bill Gates production, Larry and mysql... it's all wtf?
