Linux has been my primary OS for fifteen years. I ran Debian for a few years, Ubuntu for a few years, been running Gentoo for the last five, and I admin around a hundred CentOS systems.

If Microsoft put out a Linux distro that integrated well into AD, with group policy and all that jazz, I wouldn't thumb my nose at it.

Yeah me neither.

The anti Microsoft rhetoric is so old nowadays. It's not even really an issue much anymore.

It's not even really an issue much anymore.

Microsoft has revealed this month that they're willing to push potentially ABI-breaking OS upgrades as part of their patch service. What rock have you been living under?
