"Resistance is Futile - You WILL be assimilated -We are the Borg"
Catchy phrase for an SF flick, but hardly a way to run a data center, or publish a magazine that expects its readership to respect its intellectual honesty.
The comments about the size and validity of the sample (posted in earlier responses) rings true - several people here in my office were interested in the poll, none got a chance to participate.
A short comment on NT server - we have a bunch of Unix troops here running more modems off a 486 with 16M than we
can get hung on a Pentium Pro running NT. Of course, they are using LINUX - and haven't re-booted in two months.
They make sarcastic references to CTL-ALT-DLT as the "Microsoft Salute" .
My concern is that you are running a risk of losing the appearence of objectivity. As a user of multiple platforms, I have seen that different platforms are suitable for different missions. Your publication needs to address ALL of the environments - and should do so with a high level of objectivity.
