But, my several years experience on this list tells me we won't let inaccurate, uninformed, or other forms of "Windows is better than Linux" statements go without a response. That isn't going to happen here. So, anyone who shows up here and tells us that Windows will survive as the choice of most users because it of "simplicity and inertia" is going to get a response. Notice I quoted your original post. Those are your exact words. > Besides, I'm curious > about the linux tcp/ip stack and how I've heard its superior to that in > windows, My understanding is that everybody uses the same BSD tcp/ip stack technology, everybody. I may be wrong, but I don't think so.
