They ask a lot of questions they don't answer, and from my experience with both Windows and Linux, Linux can answer most of those questions far better than Wind

They ask a lot of questions they don't answer, and from my experience with both Windows and Linux, Linux can answer most of those questions far better than Windows. This is a joke.
edit: example: "Will patching and security lead to downtime?" There's ksplice and kgraft and more - patch the kernel with no downtime. And even without using either, I can't remember the last time I had to reboot immediately because a patch was that critical, or the last time I had to sit there waiting for my laptop to reboot 3 times trying to install the weekly updates. Windows Update blows.
edit: another example: "Proven security development lifecycle". Ha ha ha ha ha!
- robmccoll 12y agoUpdating application software on Windows can be a pain as well since replacing the running binary must be done by the binary itself (otherwise it seems the file is locked). Which means that unless an application is specifically written to support it, upgrading in-place isn't an option (AFAIK).
