No, it won't.

Linux executes quite well.

No, it isn't.

I just know you're an idiotic fanboi that scares more people away from OS
X than recruits them.

Let me know when I download the source to the pieces that lay on top of

Wha!?! You're kidding, right? Ridiculous. Who's running OSX server? Other
than Apple?

If you're "Windows Educated", you're a point-n-click-n-drool moron. You've

of the Unix, Novell and Cisco ones. There is /no/ substitute for real
experience on proper operating systems in a real, working environment.
Windows "experience" simply doesn't count in Banking, ISP, data

Don't be silly. I can't find /any/ Fortune 100 company using it. I can
find many using the *LAMP* environment. Ever fewer are using MS
software...

Naturally you don't see it "in the wild"

Business people can (mostly) count. And if tehy add the sums, apple servers
are way too expensive
Nobody having all his marbles would be dumb enough to uses servers from a
single source company with idiotic prices

As usual, OxRetard, the typical mac user and fanboi, is unable to see the
world as it is.

Yeah, that's why nobody buys Windows servers that need more attention
than an incontinent senile great-grandmother, and integrated
single-source single-vendor lock-in solutions like Sharepoint and
Exchange.

I talk about hardware *and* software
With windows, you have phenomenal choice in hardware.
With linux, you can add choice in software to that (and even more choice in
hardware)
With apple servers, you have neither. But you get get the "extra" price on
top of it

No sysadmin having half a clue would chose apple servers

But OxRetard, that so very typical Mac user and apple fanboi, tells us
that "OSX Server is now the king of business computing".

Who made the Paradise anyway? Was it Chrysler or GM? I don't remember.
