Dazu habe ich einen schönen Text gelesen: - - - Schnipp - - - I guess this shows that Windows is not ready for the desktop. Sure, playing games, maybe coordinating meetings and using a calendar, work - but email? Leave that to serious systems. I know, I know, other email clients, etc. However there is one thing I don't understand, why are flaws which convert your office network into a disaster area, somehow acceptable, whereas some esoteric calendar tool is so vitally necessary that people straight-faced claim that Linux isn't ready for the desktop? It's not just Outlook either - every damn document format that MS produces is an attack waiting to happen. Apart from being susceptible to bit-rott and bloated. The average user does simply not have the competence to operate a Windows system safely in an office environment. It's not enough to consider training costs when switching to Linux, you also need to consider TCO. That means your downtime, additional maintenance to repair user machines and lost or corrupted data, when using Windows systems. - - - Schnapp - - - (http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=24486&cid=2656553) Thorsten -- Scully: Do you have a theory?
