[ILUG] FW: Letter from Jack Messman from Novell

[Domenico Gentile]

Michele,
	I would have loved to have had these facts to hand when I attended a
MS Breakfast briefing the other day.

They were going on about the TKO of Linux v Windows and they also stated
that there were fewer patches needed, and deployed quicker, on Server 2003
compared to RedHat 9 (a bad comparison I know).

Next time I attend one of these, I'll remember to bring some stats with me.


Dom
