I get it. IOW the point I raised will continue to be ignored. I can live with that.

IOW they can't provide a means to make it work on their own. OK, I can live with that.

IOW the servers they have spread all over the world are sufficient to the task of dealing with a distribution requirement. OK, I can live with that.

The fact that the illegally-maintained monopoly has tens of times the monetary resources, plus the fact that the illegally-maintained monopoly has a vested interest in proving their slopware is up to the task, don't combine to add strong enough reasons to show their customers that those "independent" studies hold some merit. OK, I can live with that.

I'm not sure I know which point you mean. The one I raised that you're actively ignoring? The one you want to address instead of the one I raised?

MICROS~1 chose the provider. I submit, though I can't prove it. that the choice was no accident. I also sumbit but cannot prove that the continued use adheres to the original reasoning for choosing a company that relies on linux mostly. After all, MICROS~1 could have found a company within minutes that did *not* use linux to do the same thing, and they had a lot of past FUD they'd been spreading that made the choice they made *very* embarrbutting for them.

Hope you have a mirror handy, Pot.

I didn't say that, though, did I? I simply said they have facilities, they have servers, they have money, they have a product they need to convince others can do the job. All they need to do to sell the product is to show others it can do the job. It may take a few more servers. Not many (unless they happen to be Windross boxen, I suppose). After all, they only have to handle MICROS~1 DNS, not the entire planet.

But linux is just easier for them to fall back on. OK, I can live with that.

See above. That's what I'm suggesting.
