Vinod,

>Every now and then we face problems in win nt, new service packs comes up which solves old things and create new problems..

>finally somebody has suggested me to go for Linux Server...Less cost & bug free..

No product is BUG-free, even Linux is not. I don't consider using Linex for the following reasons:

- None of my clients is using Linux, How i'm gonna make a living ?
- None of my favourate programming languages is available.
- I get the impression that Linux is not as scalable as NT
- I seriously do not experience many bugs in the NT os.
- The bugs that do exist are mostly due to some functionality added to NT in a previous release, they will be fixed in a next release.
- In windows I've lots of programs that serves my needs, in linux i've virually none.

Seriously, the time there was a battle between Windows and OS-2 cannot be compared with the upcomming battle between Linux and Windows. About 1 Billion people are used to work with Windows. Do you really think that windows is so bad that we all should shift to Linux. I think not. We don't know very much about Linux. We probately encounter other problems in developing and using programs. I don't think linux will solve out problems.

In the OLD dos day's there were some other companies which tried to get a piece of the OS market, but because MS had a enormous marketshare they were not able to get a significant share.

When i look at linux, I don't see anything what could not be accomplished on NT. Why should i move ???


I can only wait to what is going to happen. Only if ms is giving up, i'll move.
