Linux in business

Linux is more used than Microsoft, I have been enjoying using it on my desktop for many years.

I know you are saying Microsoft is more common and used more, but the ONLY place Microsoft is used more than Linux, is on the desktop.
Here is a few places Linux is used in business.

Microsoft Anonymous: The 12 Steps

Microsoft Anonymous: The 12 Steps

A terrible addiction grips the world. It invades the most respectable middle-class homes and offices. It causes untold havoc. Yet, in this era when enlightened people understand that even coffee drinking (“caffeine use disorder”) can be a serious disability, this addiction goes unrecognized and untreated. We speak of Microsoft addiction — a dependency that costs its victims billions, first to buy the products to feed their habits, then in damage done by opportunistic viruses that prey on MS-weakened systems. What is Microsoft addiction? It is hopeless dependence on a computer operating system that is more insecure than a junkie in a room full of narcs and more expensive than a hit of heroin. In the end, this addiction strips its users of all privacy and independence. This operating system is controlled by a ruthless multinational software cartel. Once you’re caught in their .net like a drowning dolphin, Microsoft pushers know they can hook you on even more expensive software. Soon, you’re mainlining the hard stuff … stuff like the infamous M$ Office XP — a program that not only costs more than XTC or cocaine, but reports your activities to your pusher, and demands that you get permission to “reactivate” the software simply because you dare to make changes in your system.

The M$ message: We own your computer. We own you. And your little dog, too.

Until now, the future has looked bleak for the ordinary victim hooked on Microsoft. But today, thousands are breaking free — and so can you! — thanks to the 12-step program of Microsoft Anonymous.

Follow these steps and, though you may never be fully cured of Microsoft addiction, you will walk the road of recovery.

If Microsoft Owned McDonald’s

Source: Unknown

1. Every order would come with fries whether you asked for them or not.
2. When they introduce McPizza, the marketing makes it seem that they invented pizza.
3. “A McDonald’s on every block” — Bill Gates.
4. You’d be constantly pressured to upgrade to a more expensive burger.
5. Sometimes you’ll find that the burger box is empty. For some strange reason you’ll accept this and purchase another one.
6. They’d claim the burgers are the same size as at other fast food chains,but in reality it’s just a larger bun hiding the small beef patty.
7. Straws wouldn’t be available until after you finish your drink.
8. “Push” technology — they have McD employees come to your door and sell you Happy Meals.
9. Your order would never be right but the cash register would work perfectly for taking your money.
10. The “Special Sauce” cannot be reverse engineered, decompiled, or placed on more than 1 Big Mac.
