__aagmrb7289's Journal: Fundamental Windows Problems that UNIX bypasses...

Recently, in a submission entitled "Alternative To Windows Desktops", referring to an article called "The Mad Hatter meets the MSCE" over on Ace's Hardware, the TOC on Windows vs. Linux shops was explored.

The main TOC issue that was brought up is Windows technicians are going to try to solve problems "the Windows way", and end up messing up their rollout. The article seems to be trying to point out that Linux just doesn't have all these issues that come up in Windows, and so trying to solve these problems that don't exist is, well, bad.

So, what are these problems? What design features does Windows have that have to be fixed, that are not relevant in Linux? I mean, one issue mentioned (but not explained) was MS Office automation. Is there something about Linux that makes interop and automation not relevant? I'd like to see some sort of laundry list of items that address real business needs. Maybe we can use this to help in the good fight. Anyone?
