That's only the case if you're incompetent.

ROFL.
Typical reply of a Linux zealot.

No, he's right. Windows exists to prevent you from seeing error messages,
no matter what awful thing is happening to your system that might be
prevented if you saw an error message.

I most certainly can. Do you have a point?

That must explain we're seeing roughly a 15% failure in the Windows
Management Instrumentation interface in the 2500
Winblows eXtra CraPpy installs my team supports.

Those failures result in NO errors being returned, when there are
problems with the system. Interestingly enough, in researching the
problem to try to fix it, I see a number of solutions posted by
"microsoft guys" (some MVPs, others actual employees), yet in our
cases none of those solutions work.

Freakin' useless, and if the decision would have been mine (I wasn't
on the team at specification time) I would NOT have pushed that
flaming pile of garbage into our sites. One of the tasks I've had to
perform was to write a service to make the terminals reboot
automatically at a given time each day, as they don't seem to be able
to operate for more than 72 hours without breaking.

Ah well, as long as idiots keep specking Microsoft crap, I'll have a
job. Can't say that with Linux; those boxes are "fire and forget."

From my header:
X-Newsreader: Forte Agent 1.93/32.576 English (American)

Do you have a clue as to what OS that client runs on?

Figured it out yet?

That's my point.

Sort of linux just works on my PC without much problems at all.
I use it 99% of the time and its **** easy for me to use now. Plus I
don't have to pay for another OS again. Tried Vista a few times and never
really liked it.

Yep.

Figured it out a long time ago.

I get it now. You are attempting to claim that, as you are using Windows,
you couldn't possibly be a Linux zealot. A claim which is complete and utter
bull**** by the way.
In other words, you don't have a point - or a clue for that matter.

Heh heh. We used a linux box as our content server at a previous
employer of mine. Once the box was up and running, which didn't take
long, we never had to touch it again except for when the IT director
screwed up by trying to email out 75mb attachments. She didn't
understand linux, so she ordered us to put up a Windows 2000 server
box. Internal bandwidth took a major hit, and the staff switched from
full time development of new software to Windows 2000 server
administrators. The boss finally got tired of his developers not
producing anything, and asked the director what was up. By the end of
the day, the Linux server was back on line, and the Windblows 2000 box
was moth balled.
