Ballmer: Microsoft to go after Linux strongholds (ZDNet)Ballmer: Microsoft to go after Linux strongholds (ZDNet)Posted Oct 21, 2005 10:51 UTC (Fri) by The_Flatlander (guest, #19245)Parent article: Ballmer: Microsoft to go after Linux strongholds (ZDNet)
I've read many of the comments above, and skimmed through just about all of them, and I have to say I think a number of you are completely blind to the widely proven and very cost effective Windows clusters that are already in use all over the world....
The Bot-Nets? The SPAM-slaves? Remember? Cheap, reliable, proven Windows(tm) Distributed Computing Technology at work. The TCO is virtually nil, because the computers owners are paying for the bandwidth and the power, and the maintenance, (or not), on the computers.
I don't think you'll find any similar demonstrations of such prowess in any Linux systems.

Ballmer: Microsoft to go after Linux strongholds (ZDNet) Posted Oct 21, 2005 11:26 UTC (Fri) by xtifr (subscriber, #143) [Link] I think the developers of Lindows/Linspire (no user accounts, everything runs as root) may be working on competing with MS in this arena. :)
Apparently it is not quite the same... Posted Oct 22, 2005 17:40 UTC (Sat) by grantingram (subscriber, #18390) [Link] I've never actually used Linspire but they do apparently let you create user accounts at installation. As always Wikipedia provides some useful information. (Linspire Criticisms)
