Sadly I miscalulated IBM's ability to market OS/2, so now I'm running 5+ year old software on most of my office desktops, at least until I can finish updating my proprietary software to run on Linux. I've never had a virus or exploit of any kind on any of my OS/2 or Linux boxes. My decision to select reliability and security over popularity has caused me to endure constant hassling by employees who don't want to use anything but Windows (I suspect because it has the best selection of time wasting toys). Nevertheless I've held firm and it looks like I've picked the right pony this time.
There was some speculation on a recent Apple-related online newsletter that Apple should buy Novell and merge OS X with SuSE, though the argument was mostly based on marketing and systems reasons rather than the OS. Even if that were to happen the adjustment of your apps would be minor given than OS X is built on Unix. -- Thanks! & 73, doc kd4e West Central Florida 100% Linux.
