[NMLUG] RE: [hangout] Windows on Warships

[slavik914 at mrbrklyn.com (Steve Milo)]

Oddly BEA supposedly uses Terrasoft solutions products as well.
http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/realworld/customers.shtml

Terrasoft is the parent company for YellowDog GNU/Linux.

Another oddity is that the US Navy tried w2k on one of their ships.  I believe
the article was posted to hangout a few months ago.
The ship stalled in port, at which point the Navy jettisoned w2k for
Terrasoft/IBM servers.

Ms has to be destroyed, it has to be shattered as a corporation.
The military is no place to be used as a research and development platform
when it comes to ensuring the safety of millions of people and securing
nuclear arms.

Microsoft has to be shattered.
