I just thought I'd strap myself to a cross and respond to this. I
administer a number of linux web servers. I have several local linux boxes,
but for doing a lot of my bullshit work, I (mea culpa) prefer M$.
The reasons are that some software we use is not available (nor is a
replacement available) on linux. At this point I'd say we are about 80%
there.
My guess is that we will be ready for a complete changeover in the next 12
month.
Basically there are two issues: one, the aforementioned app software
deficit, and;
two, the problems with conversion. While I do like Evolution, it is a
fscking pain to migrate existing OE mail over. Evolution also doesn't allow
the ordering of files the way we have grown accustom to with OE.
Finally I have yet to find a decent code editor for perl/php that gives me
line numbers on any linux system. I know I can do this with vi (no emacs
here), but I do enjoy my HTML-Kit for working on large perl/php projects.
While about 90% of my work is done on linux via ssh (command line work), I
gotta say I do apprecieate a good UI.

| I am just curious !?
| I often see on Linux mail lists including aklug;
| a great many Outlook Express users
| (sometimes the majority of posters) and wonder if it
| is because they email from a M$-centric business environment
| or in fact prefer to use it ?
|
| Sorry for the non-issue topic but I have wondered
| for a couple of years now !!!
