Let the finger pointing begin

Lol. OK, a few things:

Bash isn't installed by default on BSD or Unix, just Linux, but I did take the time to point out I only did it to make sure it was a full load. I said I did a lot more.

Now, Safe Mode Windows? Seriously? I didn't know you could shut the GUI off on Windows and still run IIS... (That was a requirement remember, the machine needs to be able to function as a server in the manner proposed, and again, you can't configure the actual Kernel in Windows to strip it down, at all, and again, in Unix, you can not only do this, but actually put a Server into the Kernel and shut of everything else, and set the Kernel's IP Filter to drop everything that isn't standard Web traffic on Port 80, which is NOT possible in Windows).

So again, yes, Windows can not compete in that until Microsoft decides to allow you to configure the actual Kernel, and add to it what is needed. Oddly enough a lot of Porn sites do this from what I hear....They pay someone to come in and hack a web server into the Kernel and shut off everything else so that not only will the machine ONLY accept incoming web traffic on port 80, but even if someone had root access, what would they really do without any tools or commands that work?

You simply can't do this in Windows. It wasn't designed to allow this.

Also, why does Windows Server come with Windows Media Player? Seriously? something that requires a reboot to patch and is NOT needed, shouldn't be bundled in a Server OS....

I'll see if I can find the book I have where it started talking about the whole thing, because it's REALLY interesting... Imagine a machine that's up and running and ALL it has, is the Server required on it. No GUI, no drivers except the hardware that's actually in it, no USB, no way of using telnet, or the web, no email clients or IM clients built in that can't be uninstalled normally... Just a Kernel, and nothing else. I'd say that's as close to un-breakable as an OS is going to get in our life time. All of the things that make it that way, aren't even possible in Windows. Which again, means, Windows loses that one.

Now, go get one of those stress reliever balls Microsoft hands out at conventions I wonder WHY they hand those out? *Giggle*.

*EDIT*

I could have been so rich 10 years back if I'd thought to find a lawyer to sue Microsoft for "Double Clicking" which causes RSI. Lol, everyone seemed to be doing fine with 3 Button Mice, which Unix still expects you to have, but to be different, Microsoft made a "two button mouse" and invented "Double Clicking". Windows therefore causes RSI, and had I thought of that then, I'd probably be annoying people from my Island.
