I couldn't decide if this belonged here or in GN, but I thought it was nice. If it needs to be moved, mods feel free to move it.

I thought they were too busy with windows 8 to care.

It's tech related, so it belongs on TPU...not sure which sub-forum, though.

I really wasn't sure. Nobody moved it though so I think I guessed right.

it's been microsoft and linux for a long time, I've yet to see a large network that didn't use both. most of the time you'll have microsoft workstations with linux servers.

I agree on that yogurt. An example is my university, their servers run Debian and the rest are XP maxchines with IE 7 or 8 and MS Office 2007.
