To Each Their Own
Well, I guess it depends on how well a person knows their subject matter. I have never had the need to boot from a different OS to save a Windows machine in over 12 years. And in a secure environment it?s a bit contradictive to use an open source code OS. It?s like putting out the welcome mat.
I don't really care how people do their job, or what they use to accomplish it, if I don't have to deal with the consequences.
My point is simply that it's a forum question about a Windows issue and somebody's answer is always to use *nix. For most people that is not an option. Besides, I can fix a Windows problem with Windows tools, I don't need *nix. And I'm willing to bet that most techs in a windows forum aren't looking for *nix answers.
If you think that *nix is the answer to Windows, hey, knock yourself out. But it would appear that the business world isn?t convinced yet.
