I agree Windows is accused

I agree Windows is accused for almost every thing bad happens. There are lots of anti Windows editors always criticizing Windows and praising Linux.

LOL

LOL..
You are right, all sjvn knows is to write how bad windows is and how Linux is the answer to everything.

SJVN: We expect more articles from you that balanced. Can't you write anything like that?

Too bad

Yes, I look towards Steven (and many other writers) for his (their) points of view whether good or bad, whether I agree or not, as a info tool. Knowledge is powerful. I don't sell Linux but my services for it do very well that my team of 8 have grown to 12 in these hard times to meet the demand.

Respectfully, your comments are absolutely pointless. You don't like Linux? You are not capable of making money with Linux? Linux does not make sense to you? That's ok, please find another hobby.

...too bad

What's too bad is that I actually have to explain that my post isn't bashing Linux. It is directed at the author.

You know the "one that you look towards". The vast majority of his articles are negative except where Linux is involved. He takes shots at everything "big" (see Microsoft, Google etc) or just not Linux.

Taking the opportunity to critique the author is hardly "pointless". I think he can not only handle criticism, I think he expects it, being the "Cyber Cynic" and all.

Nice of you to respond to my "absolutely pointless" posting with one of your own though. Well done.

...too bad

To keep this professional, the main "point" I got out of Steven's article was "How much can we (or should we) depend on a Internet based offering if even one of the most respected company's network can come down".

I do not have an answer nor a response other than "hmm, good point".

I reread your original comments of "I for one would certainly not miss any of your overly-hyped Linux is great, Anti-Windows drivel."

I only respond with: I for one do find value in his comments.

A second comment you made "Surely this Google outage must be Windows fault and Linux could have prevented it. When is Google and the rest of the world going to realize that Linux is the answer to all problems...blah, blah, Linux, blah..."

I Respond with: Windows, Linux and Mac are tools of technology. That technology failed or the way it was configured. I do not see anywhere said or assumed in Steven's article that the Windows tool was to blame. Lots of tools make up the net: Cisco, Brocade, Watchguard, etc.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

...too bad

I got the same thing out of his article.

Too bad he also took the time to be his normal, negative, over-critical self and take a shot at Google's Network Engineers. I found that annoying.

My second comment, to beat a dead horse, wasn't stating in any way, that he wrote anything about Windows in THIS ARTICLE.

The second comment, as you call it, was not to be read by itself, which you have done (twice, evidently). It was preceded by:

*****In fact, I argue anyone could take your place without missing a beat.

(The following was written by your replacement, the New Anti-Windows, Linux is awesome guy, but without the uni-bomberesque photo):*****

Maybe reading it a 3rd time will make sense. Good luck and have a nice weekend.
