Check out this rather funny video promoting Novell/SUSE It's all part of a new campaign to get people off NT and on to Linux
It's sad but true; I talk to NT4 users all the time. No more updates, but they figure it was never very secure to begin with (there's some truth to that). [ot]What most people just don't understand is that all variations of Windows 2000, XP & 2003 are all just NT5. You didn't "migrate off of NT" when you went to 200(3), you migrated from NT4 to NT5 or 5.1! Sheesh. [/ot] I liked their Windows security whitepaper better than the ad campaign, personally.
Nice read and funny if it wasn't all true. It's good to see Novell standing up to the microsoft machine.
Which part isn't true, exactly? The whitepaper only had 4 basic points: Windows was designed as a single user operating system. Windows was designed without security as a primary goal. Microsoft's competitive strategy led it to embed more functionality and application integration into Windows in an attempt to thwart the competition, resulting in a very large and complex operating system with many highly dependent pieces of code. Microsoft's basic lack of attention to security after the initial Windows implementation. I thought they went easy on them personally, but I guess they went with the K.I.S.S. methodology.
Ahh, I understand what you meant now. Good point; it'd be more funny if less people ran it. But marketing sells better than quality (for reference: AOL, Earthlink, Dell, McDonalds, Best Buy, Brittany Spears, Backstreet Boys, etc.)
