“On Tuesday, the computer world witnessed a revolution that
except for a few details, went largely unnoticed, but the advent of
MacOS X Server will prove to be the beginning of a powerful
movement in the industry.”

“The fastest growing operating system right now is Linux due to
its low cost and free sourcing but Linux still suffers from a
credibility problem. Many companies are loathing to upgrade because
Linux has no major 24/7 mission critical backer except IBM when you
purchase their Linux server, and there is no central repository
where the best features can be implemented or even a software
strategy can be outlined.”
