Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: test-drive linux easily - Get a MAC

Hi,
I'm sorry if some of you think my comments on Windows were misplaced.  I am
actually a Unix geek having worked with HPUX, Sun Solaris and AIX since 1993
and used Windows since version 3.1.

Back in the 90's and up to about mid- '2000, Windows and the h/w it ran on
could not hold a candle to the performance, stability and security of a 
Unix server.
In the company I worked for (Int'l bank), it was a rule that 
mission-critical
apps could not use Windows  as a platform - only Unix or MF.
And to re-iterate, MAC OSX runs on top of a Unix lower layer.
