Have a nice day.

It was very clear for me for as long I can think of that Linux first Unix for me is not Windows or at the beginning MS-Dos.

People forget easy that in the time of MS-Dos the Unix OS was already doing thing that now image Windows users.

Sure Microsoft has packet it in more eye candy, but then you pay for VGA cards and processors, and most Windows users are lost in the race for faster and faster computers.

I installed Fedora Core 5. last weekend on a Asus Intel 965 chipset with Intel E6800 processor for testing what server OS we going for. Please Microsoft do something you lossing so much in speed. Almost look like Windows 2003 server is not aware of the extra core....

This is not weird, Linux or Unix is always been for multiple processors from the first version I can remember. I can say that Linux is at the moment at level 50 of multi processor support, as MS Windows is at level 3 or maybe 4 (if we include Win NT 3.51), the first version with multyple processor support was MS Windows NT 4.0. And Win NT 4.0 compared to Unix or Linux was like yes we support multyple memory access and some core action but to say full cpu's working together is until now still a no no.

So sure Linux is not MS Windows, Windows is sweet and narak....Linux doesn't care what you think...it is Linux
