As I have said more times than I care to count. All that matters is that it
does what you need it to do, and makes you most productive. I have used
and/or supported everything from DOS 1 onwards. Have seen these same things
said each and every time.

Unlike the zealots I actually keep up with things like this, and at least
keep and unbiased understanding of these facts. That being said, I have a
low tolerance for zealots of any stripe, and will not hesitate to point out
their errors. RedHat is finally proving that Linux is not a realistic choice
on the desktop no matter how good it may be as a server. I always liked
Mandrake/Mandriva which was/is based on RedHat. As good as it is, it still
did not allow me to be as productive as I am under MS offerings. I am by no
means an MS shill. I have had a problem with MS as far back as the OS/2 days
when they would break support of the Win16 apps under OS/2 on purpose when
OS/2 was clearly a superior product. I DO have to make a living however, and
am pragmatic. I use what best allows me to do that. You stole one of my
favorite saying in the last sentence. You always use the right tool for the
job.
